  1. Good show.  My first time seeing him live.  Lloyd was very lyrical at times.  My wife loved it as well.  As expected, he played tenor and flute, but he also played a reddish/brownish straight saxophone (a stritch, perhaps?) at the beginning of his first encore.  It looked somewhat like a rosewood clarinet, but it sounded like a saxophone.  

    I just looked online.  It was a tárogató.  

  2. Chuck,

    There was an exhibit of artwork by Pee Wee Russell and George Wettling (who had studied with Stuart Davis) at Wilkes College in 1986.  The exhibition booklet is available here:  https://www.wilkes.edu/about-wilkes/arts/sordoni-art-gallery/past-exhibitions/_assets/_pdf_archives/1986-April-27-Pee-Wee-Russelland-Geaorge-Wettling.pdf.  There's some useful information there about his paintings.

    I have a copy as well as a copy of the exhibition poster.

  3. The information posted earlier in the thread (appended below) is correct.  

    >>>

    Stuff Smith And His Orchestra : Jonah Jones (tp,vcl) George Clarke (ts,vcl) Stuff Smith (vln,vcl) Sam Allen (p,celesta-1) Bernard Addison (g) John Brown (b) Herbert Cowans (d). New York, September 1939

    >>>

    Some of the names on the label appear to be either made up (contractual reasons?)  or just wrong.

    Well, this sounds exciting (not):

    >>>>>

    WUSF’s General Manager JoAnn Urofsky told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the jazz show “will be replaced with great public radio programs beginning Monday, October 31.” Those programs include the news program “1A Plus,” the current affairs show “As It Happens” and the second hour of “Science Friday,” which highlights entertaining stories about science and technology. “The changes mean WUSF 89.7 will become entirely focused on news and information, including weather and safety, so we can better serve the residents of Florida.”

    The article mentions Vic Hall as a frequent guest.  I remember him from the record bashes in New Jersey.
