The incident was reported in local newspapers at the time. According to Gene Santoro's biography of Mingus 'Myself When I'm Real', 'he wanted to buy some shirts'. Ben Webster - who was in the city at the time - told him he had been ripped because he was black. Mingus went back to the store to demand a better deal. A clash occured, Mingus was briefly held by the police.

We have a winner! The photo was taken in 1943 when Laurel and Hardy sport the zoot suits they wore in the film 'Jitterbugs'? Welles was filming 'Jane Eyre' at the same time and wears the appropriate costume for the part!

No Taylor! no Weissmuller! If somebody could hold a sax and a cigar at the same time, the man here surely could! Wish there was sound attached to the image!

Not a great fan of post-Django Grappelli but I do enjoy his Live 1992 album with Philip Catherine, Marc Fosset and NHOP

No! No! Paul Secor wrote: I cheated & found out who it is, but my lips are sealed. When I found out, it was interesting but not completely surprising. To me, the connection was a surprise, a happy one! Love all three!

The Laurel and Hardy photo was taken in the early 40s. Finney was not even a teenager at the time!

Booker Ervin 'Structurally Sound' (PacificJazz, mono, gatefold cover)

Wish this was released on vinyl Got the original LPs from Mingus when he put those albums out!
