1) In a recent interview with Marc Myers on jazzwax.com Dave Pell reveals he's the proud possessor of Pres's horn. 2) Somewhere on youtube there's a clip of British alto virtuoso Peter King demonstrating Bird's alto in a London auction house to a group of admirers from the Japanese Charlie Parker Society.

In April 1961 I saw Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and the Thelonious Monk Quartet on a double bill at Manchester's Free Trade Hall. Early in a Rouse solo Monk decided as he so often did to lay out. He strode slowly round the stage as Rouse and the rhythm section played, lighting a cigarette as he went. As Rouse approached the end of his solo, Monk moved quickly to the front of the stage and handed the cigarette to a astounded fan on the front row. Monk returned to the piano, and the youthful fan carefully extinguished the cigarette and put it away in his wallet!

Managed to play the Earl Anderza, but not the Little/Ervin. Any suggestions for a snappier album title based on their shared first name?
