Never saw a Bellson American band, but saw him in Stockport in the 80s leading a big band of British musicians. Bobby Shew has been a regular at the Wigan Jazz Festival.

Seemed logical to return to this one following my recent rewarding return to Bellow. A technically far more conventional novel than Herzog, though. Very plot-dominated - not surprised to read that a movie was made of this - which I haven't seen.

I think a Hubbard session made during the tour has been issued IIRC.

For once, Wikipedia hasn't kept up - giving Steig's d.o.b. as Sept 23 1942, but not giving a date for his death. I was born in 1939 and he did seem youthful to me when I saw him in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester in 1969 with a package that included the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, Freddie Hubbard, Richard Williams and Richard Groove Holmes.

Hadn't realized the version on the Lockjaw session predated the more famous one. Incidentally, always regarded Trane Whistle as a Nelson session, to the extent of filing it with my Nelson discs, rather than with my Lockjaws - The Oliver Nelson Orchestra featuring Eddie Davis, if you know what I mean.
