Big Wheel Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 Anyone have any idea who this jazz musician is? I'll post the answer in a day or two if nobody guesses correctly. Quote
brownie Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 (edited) That's Bhumibol Adulyajed. He's played with Benny Goodman, among others. He also happens to be His Majesty King of Thailand B-) Edited December 19, 2004 by brownie Quote
Big Wheel Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Posted December 19, 2004 Very impressive, Brownie! Here's the full photo: Quote
Jim R Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 That's Bhumibol Adulyajed. I think it's "Adulyadej" (credit goes to Google B-) ). So, I can't resist... is that Urbie Green, Jonah Jones (?), and... ?? Jack Sheldon? Quote
brownie Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 Jim, your guesses look right. My Adulyajed was wrong. I misread my Google A royal mistake Quote
Jim R Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 My Adulyajed was wrong. I'm just glad I don't have to pronounce it! Quote
Brad Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 (edited) Hats off to Brownie. Was that a posed photo or was HRH a player? Dmitry may have started a new fad here. Edited December 20, 2004 by Brad Quote
Big Wheel Posted December 20, 2004 Author Report Posted December 20, 2004 A player with his own website. http://www.supremeartist.org/ Quote
Jim R Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Hats off to Brownie. Hey- I named three, and he only named one! Granted, his was a bit tougher... Quote
Dmitry Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Dmitry may have started a new fad here. As we say in Russian - Everything new is well forgotten old. I've been pestering y'all with the mystery jazz photos for about a year now, I think. Got one or two more I'd like to decipher. Quote
Guest ariceffron Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 how come the king of thailand played sax w/ bg???how did that come about Quote
brownie Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 how come the king of thailand played sax w/ bg???how did that come about The King is a royal jazz fan and a saxophone player. And when Benny Goodman and his orchestra toured the Far East in 1956, the King of Thailand joined the King of Swing. First time he played at a concert, unless I'm wrong. The photo that Big Wheel dug up was taken at another later tour. Quote
Brad Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Hats off to Brownie. Hey- I named three, and he only named one! Granted, his was a bit tougher... Ok, hats off to Jim too Quote
