Thanks a lot, Fernando!! So I was right when I figured that that guy wearing the cap looked treacherously like Tony Scott! (Sahib Shihab and Gigi Gryce also were easy to identify) Offhand I just could not think of a big band session that he led. Though I ought to have known and ought to have searched further ... because I do own the "Complete Tony Scott" album. As for others to identify, I might well contact you via MP (our should I put the photos here for everyone to see and identify?). One that comes to mind right away is the pic (about 20 pages into the book) of four bassists jamming together (studio? backstage?). Percy Heath (second from right) is obvious, but the others? Many thanks again!

I have done a bit of that, with photos that seem to come from one session by Tony Scott at Webster Hall, here: https://jazzontherecord.blogspot.com/2018/07/image-and-sound-webster-hall-1956.html If you're interested in any other face in particular, I'd be glad to help. F

A warm morning again. Woke up early and tended to the dog; we’re settling in for a little listening. First off “Unreleased Art Pepper Volume 6 Blues for the Fisherman” disc 2 of 4 On to something different. . . David Bowie “Heathen” from the latest box set.

Saw Joshua Redman tonight at Yoshi's Oakland. C+. Not impressed at all. There were moments but they were few and far between. I will give him credit for playing Stardust, one those moments....

Inspired me to pull of the shelves and play this

Why did they make that look like a comedy record?

He was great on this:

Week 17 picks https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/09/25/cfl-beat-250/ My picks... Alouettes over Stampeders - The Stamps have not been golden the past few weeks. I was going to pick them, but now that I see that Alexander will start for the Als, I'll pick them at home. So far, Alexander has yet to lose as a starter in his pro career. Lions over Argonauts - BC has been amazing the past two weeks (worthy of #1 in the power rankings), and I don't see an Eastern team playing at night in the Pacific time zone to be able to stop the momentum. Tiger-Cats over Blue Bombers - Collaros will return as the Bombers' starter, but I think the Ticats are the better team this year. Maybe after all these years of success, the Bombers have become just too old. Elks over Roughriders - I feel foolish picking this upset; but the Elks continue to get better, and the Riders are far from perfect. ***** Game Notes https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/game-notes-what-you-need-to-know-ahead-of-week-17/ ***** Week 17 previews https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/4-storylines-to-watch-in-week-17/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/3-keys-to-victory-for-calgary-montreal-in-week-17/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/vernon-adams-jr-to-start-in-week-17-vs-als/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/25/official-davis-alexander-to-start-for-montreal-alouettes-against-calgary/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/25/official-vernon-adams-jr-to-start-for-calgary-stampeders-despite-back-injury/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/3-keys-to-victory-for-toronto-bc-in-week-17/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/nick-arbuckle-to-start-vs-lions-on-friday/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/veteran-quarterback-arbuckle-named-starter-for-argonauts-vs-lions/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/25/qb-nick-arbuckle-returns-for-toronto-argonauts-against-b-c-lions/ ***** Fans can now vote for this year's All-CFL team. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/25/vote-now-for-your-all-cfl-team/ ***** Win a trip to the Grey Cup!
