Trivia: Recorded with Sun Ra and on Blue Note

[randyhersom]

As I was listening to the first Andrew Hill Mosaic Select this morning, I stumbled on this trivia question. My only answers so far are John Gilmore, Pat Patrick, Don Cherry and Vic Sproles. Enjoy.

Thanks for this -- I was getting edgy the more I read without seeing his name.

There's a drummer named Billy Higgins on Blue Delight. Did he ever make anything of himself?

[jeffcrom]

Tommy Turrentine is on that album, too.

[AndrewHill]

Didn't Bernard McKinney also work with Ra?

Yup, On Futuristic Sounds on Savoy.

OK, now this is buggin' the hell out of me. Looked last night, and again tonight for a bit -- and every time I think I've found something, somebody else has already mentioned it before in this thread.

There have to be a couple more than this, though, right??

Ronnie Boykins

I don't think so. I can't find any BN date he actually plays on (he not listed anywhere in the index of the big BN discography I've got).

Now Horace Parlin DID record the Boykins tune "Home is Africa" -- but Boykins wasn't on the date.

For some reason I was thinking he was on a BN date somewhere, but I guess not...

I was surprised not to find any Blue Notes with Bob Cunningham with a quick google. Cunningham and Boykins were the two I thought likely, but not confirmed.

I did go looking for Charles Davis and found only Eddie Gale - where Charles Davis was one of the Noble Gale Singers. I decided that was unlikely to be the same Charles Davis. Is there a Blue Note with Charles Davis playing (baritone) sax?

[Rooster_Ties]

Every time I think I've found another one -- I find the name already posted in this thread.

Drat!!
