he apparently drummed on one don & dewey track. as for why he wasn't on the
grand wazoo tour, remember that one of the questions kenny shroyer asked was
"are you free to travel?" rotella probably wanted to stay in la and do
sessions. if rotella played on absolutely free, i think it would have been
the contrabass clarinet on "brown shoes don't make it".
