So what was the question? What has 224 strings? - - - Answer: "a piano bass duo"

DeWitt Kay and I had primarily been friends. He had been an entirely self-taught jazz bassist who had worked closely and recorded over the years with some marvelous pianists including Bernard Peiffer, and John Coates (Jr.) DeWitt was also a professional experimental psychologist/ statistician. Thus, these recordings were initially just the recorder running at 2 separate social events at my place. The ones with drums included drummer John Mosemann who may have stopped over for some holiday gathering . As I recall DeWitt and I were just jamming in the piano room and John just set up a cymbal and snare.

Upon discovering these old tracks I felt they were so natural that they warranted publication. DeWitt, who died a few years ago, did not read music - including barely a lead sheet. Everything you hear here is his near miraculous ear. Enjoy.
