Posted 4 Jul 2010 (edited) Does anyone know about the existence of a black and white album cover of Walter Bishop Jr in front of his upright piano holding his pet cat "JJ" ? Details appreciated. Thanks. Edited 4 Jul 2010 by cocos7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 4 Jul 2010 I believe his former wife still posts here, so I'm sure she will know the album and give you whatever info she can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Jul 2010 The rear CD cover of "What's New" DIW-605 shows WB cuddling a cat ( or at least a fluffy object) close to his face. No upright piano but the photo is in B&W. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Jul 2010 Thanks Clunky, but in the photograph in question Bish is very clearly sitting in front of the piano and holding a very cool looking "JJ" - who stares straight at the camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 28 Jan 2015 It's not an album cover, but it is the work of famous photographer, Julio Mitchel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 20 Feb 2015 It's a good bet that JJ is roaming around Kitty-Cat Heaven.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Mar 2015 J.J. has an interesting "pedigree". James Earl Jones's father, Robert Earl Jones, was a neighbor of Walter's. during a time Robert Earl had to go out of town, Walter "cat-sat" with J.J. when Robert Earl returned, Walter had fallen in love and Robert Earl let him keep J.J.
