Time to play Monk's "Friday the 13th"!

Little Rootie Tootie Nellie Nica

Ronnie Schatt (aka Scott) Lorraine Crapp Thomas Crapper

That was a great find on Spotify! How fluent Tubbs was by that stage (1972), although some of the old fire had perhaps gone. And the Scandinavian rhythm section gave him a technically accomplished backing that he didn't often find in Britain a decade before.

Think I saw this lot at Ronnie Scott's. Certainly Shaw and Ronnie Mathews were in the group. Anyone know if they were on at Ronnie's during this European tour?

Charles Pasqua Germaine Easter Germaine Greer

Louis Hayes/Woody Shaw Quintet, Lausanne 1977

Mammy Al Jolson Al Jarreau

Now we've got everything except his grandmother's maiden name! P.S. Who's this Kenneth Davis? I thought we were discussing Kenny Dennis! Or is this Name Three People!

Numero Uno Top Cat Big Boss Man

Well, I'm not claiming a monopoly! Tried to identify the trio before looking it up. Thought the drummer was Philly Joe, but it's someone called Kenny Dennis!

Fleur Adcock Lettice Leefe Twiggy

Joe Henderson, Mode for Joe

T-Bone Walker, T-Bone Blues

Pleased to see Brubeck seems to be carrying off the STINKER prize so far: he's my nomination, tho' it would have been nice to see WM in there, too. To turn this thing on its head, those from the list I'm most into (in list order) are Miles, Monk, Bud, Getz, Mulligan, tho' it would have been nice to see Bird in there, too.

Here Comes Frank Foster

Yes, I have no Brubeck albums, but quite a few by Desmond, most with Jim Hall, but some with Mulligan
