JSngry Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 (Tex, sidenote, did you catch the Greg Tate piece on James Brown I posted? Check the current Village Voice online if not-- he hit it pretty well.) c Yes I did, and yes he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcello Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Did those two old faces play together? Looks like the same place... Very nice shots There was a series of bandstands set up on 52nd Street on July 5th or 6th, 1976, with different groups. Clark Terry / Ernie Wilkins, Sonny Stitt (w/ Barry Harris), Hannibal Marvin Peterson's Big Band (w/ Freddie Waits, George Adams, Billy Harper and Dave Holland), Zoot Sims / Jimmy Rowles and more. Here is Terry & Wilkins: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Storer Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Damn, I was there! I remember that 52nd St. thing. I recall seeing Roy Haynes and the Hip Ensemble, and a big band that would have been Sam Rivers. Later in the day Haynes could be seen on a bench with a woman friend, the two of them sharing a huge spliff. As for the drummer in photo #1, doesn't it look like this gentleman? I would have thought our own clifford_thornton would have caught this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a kid, Parker's face usually didn't look that skinny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously Jarvis loaned Thornton his drum set that day. I wouldn't be surprised if we find a companion picture of Clifford Jarvis playing trombone. Or--wait--was it tenor sax? No, that was Clifford Brown. Unless it was Clifford Jordan on trumpet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcello Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Upon closer examination, Chuck is right and I can't remember who this is. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I believe that the cellist is NOT Wadud, but the same person in #2 who is playing bass. Certainly not Roscoe, but I am at a loss who the altoist/flutist is. Looking at the names on the back of my SoundCraft '75 LP, any of those obscure mofos could be one of these dudes. There were so many cats playing loft gigs at that time, only some of whom were recorded, that it's hard to say who some of these "mystery players" are. Hell, some were "mystery players" back then!

CT played cornet, valve-trombone, percussion, piano, shenai and flute at various points. Just not the drumset, as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be Jameel Moondoc? You're right, the cellist is not Wadud, I have him in other photos during the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
