Worked 2 times (by remote communication) with Jack.
I spoke on the phone with him while building an all star group for the Chicago Jazz Festival. This was to be a West Coast Group built around Art Pepper. It was to be a quintet and I lined up Art, Jack, Russ Freeman and Shelly Manne. I suggested Monty Budwig but Art objected and wanted Bob Magnusson. Anyway I spoke to all but Magnusson and they agreed. Unfortunately Art Pepper died before the event.
The second time was when I edited and assembled Jack's Uptown date.
He could be a charmer.
Think I'll listen to one of the Curtis Counce dates now.
