Let's play some Jazz Trivia again!

[Dmitry]

First you must deduct the names of the people encoded below - it should be self-explanatory. Perhaps I made it too easy.

Lone Star State

like Pavarotti

"-Hello, ....! -Hello, Jerry!"

"...-Knife" on BN

"..., My Dear" on Riverside

.... Morgan

.... Pekar

.... Loomis, aka The Prankster

Once you've done it, I will give you a direct connection between them.

I'll guess two names:

Jack Ruby

Lee Harvey Oswald

but is this jazz trivia?!?

Jazz trivia indeed, mon ami!

You did pretty good; deducing the other name might give you a problem, since you're foreign to our vernacular.

I'll give it another hour before opening my cards.

Could the third name be that Ray Charles tenor star Fathead?

[Dmitry]

Legendary Dallas-born Big Texas Tenor, David "Fathead" Newman, took hometown gigs at Ruby's Vegas and Silver Spur dives, when on leave from Ray Charles. "The thing I remember most about Jack Ruby," chuckles Newman, "were the stag parties in his clubs. Whenever the striptease dancers came out, he'd want the musicians to turn our backs, 'cause these were white ladies. He'd say, 'Now, you guys turn your backs so you can't see this.' But the strippers would insist that the drummer watch them so he could catch their bumps and grinds. So, Jack says, 'Well, the drummer can look, but the rest of you guys, you turn your backs on the bandstand.'"...

From Seinfeld-

"Hello, NEWMAN!"

"Hello, Jerry!"

Okay, this one may be too easy for some of y'all...

Name a musician who has performed with Pete Seeger, George Clinton and Archie Shepp (no, not at the same time ).

[GA Russell]

Bill Clinton?

[Guest Bill Barton]

Bill Clinton?

Nope. Unless you know something that I don't...

[GA Russell]

Just a guess, Bill!

Jerry Garcia?

If not, how about Bernie Worrell or somebody else in the Laswell orb?

[marcello]

Perry Robinson, who has if nothing, a very eclectic career.

I asked Chris Brubeck about him earlier this year.

And the winner is... marcello!

Right you are, Tom, it is indeed Perry Robinson. I'm looking forward to hearing him play in Seattle on Sunday the 19th at Gallery 1412 with Greg Campbell and Marc Smason. The last time I heard him was way back (in the early 1970s) with Two Generations of Brubeck. As I recall, he and Peter "Madcat" Ruth pretty much stole the show.
