Jay Cameron lived in San Diego CA until his death several years ago. I met him at local sessions. I subbed for his piano player occasionally when he had a session at his house with drummer Jay Hearn who was originally from Kansas City. Jay is gone also. Jay Cameron was very east coast hipster cool. a very interesting and kind guy. He had many pictures in his band room showing him with Slide Hampton, Maynard, and a variety of NYC cats and guys he was with during his time in Europe. Very cool black and white shots from the jazz golden years. He was most definitely in the middle of that whole scene. He was the real deal. I miss him.
