I know Clifford Brown was a very good chess player. I read it in an interview of musicians that played with Clifford. One of the musicians, I don't recall, claimed Clifford could beat anyone at chess.
Here is Charles Mingus. Any other jazz musicians that come to mind?.
I would have loved to have been at this set.

Looks like a missile launcher. I wasn't aware there is a sax with a deeper sound that the baritone sax.
Does anyone know what this instrument is called?
Yes, that's Dave Holland on bass.
