When did you get back into playing? I didn’t get back into a relationship with the guitar until ’83. At that point, Tommy Gumina approached me and asked to endorse a solidbody he had just designed for Polytone. I used and endorsed that guitar, and Polytone amps, for about a year and a half. At that time, I performed again for the first time; professionally, as opposed to locally in small rooms. I went back to New York City to play the Bottom Line, using the Polytones. At that concert (luthier) Abe Rivera came backstage and told me he would love to build an instrument for me, as a gift. And he did. I named it Scepter, like a regal wand. That was the second time that I committed myself to a solidbody guitar. Is that the carved guitar seen on the cover of the 1987 album Return and the videotape performance in Legends of Jazz Guitar? Yes, but it weighed a ton! The Rivera guitar was made of exotic woods that were extremely heavy, and it had pearl inlay. It was a beautiful guitar, though… a work of art. Wasn’t that your primary guitar in the ’90s? Yes, for many years.
