sgcim Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm reading a book a book by Alice Denham, 'Sleeping With Bad Boys', because she has a chapter on William Gaddis, my fave writer. In the book, she mentions that she posed for many jazz LPs, and shows her posting for an album called 'Four Lessons in Jazz',featuring Art Blakey, The Australian Jazz Quartet, Johnny Richards and Charles Mingus. She's shown on the cover in front of a blackboard, smiling and letting it all hang out. I've always wondered who these beautiful women were in real life, and she had quite a story: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/05/arts/alice-denham-ex-playboy-centerfold-dies-at-89.html Here's the album I was talking about: https://www.discogs.com/Art-Blakey-The-Jazz-Messengers-Charlie-Mingus-Australian-Jazz-Quintet-Johnny-Richards-4-Lessons-In-J/release/6027382 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgcim Posted May 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yup, that's her! In the book, she mentions one ad in which she was shot as four different Vietnamese soldiers; one shooting a gun, another brandishing a sword, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
