3rd Man

In 1997 Jack Helsley initiated the recording of the first 3rd Man CD. Together with Pete Wilhoit on drums and Jack on bass, Peter recorded the project on two afternoons. It features originals by Peter as well as ex-Freesome bassist Dave Bruker. The CD was released in 1997 and received very positive reviews. The band 3rd Man was actually formed after the CD was done. While they played only infrequently, as all members were so busy with other things, a second CD, called Freed Men, was recorded in 2003 and as of 2013 the trio was still active.
