The only recordings I'm aware of are his solo album Among Friends and the High Anxiety Bones quartet album, does anyone here have other recordings or know of other recordings? Lately I've been listening to a bunch of Cleveland Orchestra recordings from the 90s but can't confirm whether it's actually Steve Witser or James DeSano. Can anyone here provide some insight?

I also have pictures of the liner notes from a physical copy of Among Friends that I found in the University of Toronto library while on vacation several years ago that I can dig up if anyone's interested!

There's also this album [url]https://open.spotify.com/album/12kcOS1u3zDMcmQTGJXS7X

About half was recorded a few or two before Mr. Witser passed and then the rest was recorded later with Ralph Sauer. Not quite sure where to buy the CD, but it's a great recording and, in relation to a different thread going about Sauer and Alessi, it's really interesting to hear how similar yet distinctly different the section sounds with both.

Sure miss that guy!
