The guessing is over. The photo was taken by David Redfer who is from London. From the joint gig by the Max Roach Quintet with Sonny Rollins in Reading, England, and broadcast by the BBC as part of their "Jazz Goes to College Series". Personnel is: Sonny Rollins, tenor sax; Freddie Hubbard, trumpet; Ronnie Mathews, piano; Jymie Merritt, acoustic double bass; Max Roach, drums. Date would be November 6, 1966. Given that Rollins and Roach were leaders of their own groups, and since many musicians traveled to Reading from London to attend the gig, it may have been a one-off.

When did Sonny shave his head? That can narrow down the time frame.

Sonny Rollins and Max Roach. Any guesses who is playing piano?

A nice long life. She had a lovely voice. RIP.

Happy Birthday.

Todd is responsible for reopening the club. Ron Carter's trio was the first act at the club in Baltimore. From the Blue Note Records Facebook page. Keystone Korner was a legendary San Francisco jazz club in the 1970s run by Todd Barkan & we were very excited to hear that Todd has resurrected the club in Baltimore! The Keystone Korner Baltimore opening was last night with the legendary bassist Ron Carter doing the honors: www.keystonekornerbaltimore.com/ Pre-order Ron's new collaborative album with poet Danny Simmons "The Brown Beatnik Tomes - Live at BRIC House" which comes out June 7:https://CarterSimmons.lnk.to/BrownBeatnikTomes

It sure does.

Another photo of Hank I never saw before. It must have been late in his life, sometime in the 1980's.

I was doing a search and came across it. There was no details. Now I see it is something we all are aware about.

What is this? This has to be a bootleg of something already released.

What a tragic loss. So sad to find this out.

This photo came from another forum I am a member of. It is called rare jazz photos. The comment from the person that shared the photo. This photograph was taken by Dutch pianist Rein DeGraaff in August of 1967. I made a number of prints of this in the darkroom from Rien's negative, which has since been returned to him.

This was in 1967.

Don't know the date but I would loved to have been in the club to see these two.

the very start of the night. He was in the audience.

McCoy Tyner and Charles McPherson at 80 with the JALC Orchestra. McCoy was scheduled to play, but did. He is looking frail. He was in the audience. Charles played and swung the entire set dedicated to him.

It's Bill Barron.

Just saw George Coleman with Jimmy Cobb, David Hazeltine and Ugonna Okegwo for Smoke’ 20th anniversary celebration.
