Much of Bob Bain’s professional career has been spent as a “behind the scenes”performer, providing hit backgrounds for other recording stars. He has longbeen regarded as one of Hollywood’s finest studio musicians, working regularlywith the orchestra of Nelson Riddle, as well as many other top-notch studiogroups.Bob’s Capitol album “Latin Love” revealed to the listening public the same soloartistry which has won him so much respect among his fellow musicians. In“Guitar de Amor” he again displays this talent with a collection of originalarrangements enhanced by the use of multiple recording techniques, employingthree guitars to create striking stereophonic Amor (Gabriel Ruiz) 2:24

Produced for CD release by Jordi he's not a guitar hero with the name recognition of Eric Clapton orCarlos Santana, but guitar licks of Bob Bain have been heard by many more setsof ears. He was so busy in the Hollywood recording studios during the '50s and'60s that he actually would leave his instruments lying around rather than takethem home. Film composer Henry Mancini made regular use of Bain's work onsoundtracks and studio albums, the match working to everyone's benefit as theinstrument's popularity expanded due to the influence of rock music. The heavy,sizzling guitar part on the theme to Peter Gunn? That was Bain. The guitarbecame so much in demand, in fact, that composers would bring in as many asfive guitar players at a time for orchestrations. The theme from the westernBonanza featured Bain, Tommy Tedesco, Al Hendrickson, and Laurindo Almeida allat once, which is probably good news for frustrated guitarists who haveattempted to play this theme all alone.Bain's work backing up pop vocalists includes some very famous records,including Frank Sinatra's "I've Got You Under My Skin" and Nat"King" Cole's "Unforgettable." On his own, Bain cut severalsides for Capitol in the early '60s that cling to the style of Brazilianguitarist Laurindo Almeida. Yet these albums also reveal Bain's studioartistry, as he used the recordings to showcase overdubbing craftsmanship,whipping out both parts of complicated guitar duets. Bain wound up helpingcreate Guitars Unlimited, a collaboration with Jack Marshall and HowardRoberts. This group recorded several albums on CapitolBain's musical life began playing bass with the high school orchestra andguitar on the side. After graduating, he hit the road playing bass with a triofeaturing guitarist Joe Wolverton. Bain settled into the Los Angeles club sceneand continued playing bass behind guitar mentors, most important of all thegreat Les Paul. In 1942, he joined Freddy Slack's band where he met BarneyKessel, who sat in one night. This contact led to Bain joining a group calledthe Phil Moore Four and One More, one of the first West Coast groups to playthe new bebop style and one of the first interracial bands on the L.A. scene.This group also led to the first contact with Sinatra, when the singer decidedto cut his own disc in the bop style, "Bop Goes My Heart."During the second World War, Bain wound up in a U.S.O. group in Europe withactor George Raft and singers Louise Albritton and June Clyde. He returned homein 1945 and joined the big band of Tommy Dorsey, featuring Buddy Rich on drums.Sick of the constant spatting between this egotistical drummer Dorsey, Bainmoved after two years to the more relaxed Bob Crosby Big Band. Meanwhile, theguitarist's own band, the San Fernando Playboys, was making recordings in thestudio of Les Paul (i.e., his living room). Bain later played and recorded withHarry James and his big band and Andre Previn's trio. Previn was working at MGMand was one of the first film composers to write parts for the electric guitar,which he brought Bain in to play. The guitar intro section to Nat King Cole's"Mona Lisa" was Bain's idea. Bain was ahead of the pack when it cameto sight-reading, a talent many guitarists got by without in the '40s. This ledto his first-call status in the world of jingles, radio broadcasts, and film andtelevision scores. He played guitar on the themes from M.A.S.H., the MissionImpossible series, and The Munsters. Sometimes he recorded on other stringinstruments, such as mandolin and banjo. Examples of his banjo picking can beheard on the soundtracks to Thoroughly Modern Millie and Around the World in 80Days, two of the hundreds of film scores he played on. By the '70s, a new crowdof studio guitarists began to dominate. Bain continued to record, write,arrange, produce, and for 22 years held the guitar chair for The Tonight Showband."Eugene Chadbourne -All Music Guide
