A band would open on Monday night and be off the following evening. They would then resume on Wednesday and work through Sunday. While unusual, it was not the sort of problem that a band could not, routinely, deal with. Yet the problem faced by Charles Earland in mid-September 1970 was a unique and vexing one: the tenor sax player he had opened with on Monday had disappeared by Wednesday, and he had a recording session scheduled to be taped live in the club on Thursday night! His solution was to bring in a young saxophonist who had been living in Philadelphia and supplementing his earnings as a musician by working during the day for a local record wholesaler. There was little time to get things together but the replacement turned out to be a big improvement; and the subsequent album, Living Black (Prestige), was not only a hit but also an introduction to the work of Grover Washington Jr. In short order, Washington Jr. became the “house” tenor player for Prestige and made sideman appearances on that label with Boogaloo Joe Jones, Melvin Sparks, Leon Spencer, and, most importantly, Johnny “Hammond” Smith.
