robertoart Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Guy Viveros Bubba Brooks Anyone (or almost anyone, in case there's a dud I'm forgetting) with the title "Sir" Also, isn't Earl Swope a great name for a trombonist? Especially one who played like Earl Swope Ha. That's weird. I was just driving home from a football game tonight, and was thinking of this thread - and was planning to check if anyone had mentioned the 'sirs" Sir Roland Hanna Sir Charles Thompson Sir Mick Jagger Edited July 7, 2012 by freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) How about great (nickname-ish) jazz names that are strikingly similar, playing the same instrument and, above all, (virtually) contemporary? Corky Cornelius Corky Corcoran Almost makes you think the Corkies were coined by the same person(s). Â And, OTOH, if there were a thread (and I know I am going out on a limb here ) about nondescript jazz names then my #1 among the nondescriptest names of all is and remains Andrew Hill A common and unaltered "straight" first name along with a common monosyllabic last name just don't "sound" and don't "project" anything.
