Rooster_Ties Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) I should probably be able to figure out who this is, but can't quite seem to place him. There's three photos in all, from the same seller. (Can't seem to link the images to this thread, nor save and upload them here. Since the auction ends soon, if somebody can grab the pics and post/upload them here, that'd be great -- thanks!) Also, who's the guy standing (hunched over) in the 3rd pic?? Jesus, I just saw the "starting bid" prices on all three of these, and nearly had a heart attack. $1,750.00 each!! (Edit: the photographer was Clemens Kalischer.)

Michael Weiss Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Also, who's the guy standing (hunched over) in the 3rd pic?? Max Roach These photos are most likely from the school of jazz in Lenox, MA Quote
Late Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 The huncher is Max Roach. Don't know the mystery trumpet player.I'm guessing the photos were taken at the Lennox School. Quote
Spontooneous Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Is the guy with the bass trumpet possibly Marshall Brown? Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Posted March 9, 2011 Aha! I was wondering if that might be a bass trumpet -- and if so, could that be a clue? (Also, could someone upload the third picture? Many thanks.) Quote
brownie Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Is the guy with the bass trumpet possibly Marshall Brown? Not Marshall Brown Quote
david weiss Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 I'm going to go with Bob Brookmeyer..... He's playing a trombone mouthpiece so perhaps it's some sort of warped valve trombone Quote
Late Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Here's a guess: Kent McGarity-tbn, bt (Norwich, NY) 1957, 1958, 1959 Attended Eastman School of Music and recorded with Woody Herman. It's the only listing of "bt" — which I'm guessing is short for bass trumpet — that I see from this page. Quote
Niko Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) the concert program, supports you guess.. Max Roach, John Lewis Ensemble: Don Cherry-tpt; Ornette Coleman-asx; Kent McGarity-tbn, btpt; Steve Kuhn, Ron Brown-p; Larry Ridley-b; Barry Greenspan-d The Sphinx (Ornette Coleman) Compassion (Ornette Coleman) Giggin' (Ornette Coleman) Inn Tune (Margo Guryan) I remember I once googled all these people I ddn't know from Lenox 59 and was surprised to see on Kent McGarity's page that his CV didn't list playing with Ornette and Cherry , instead: "Kent McGarity Trombone and Bass Trumpet Kent played and recorded with Woody Herman, Dick Johnson, the Artie Shaw Orchestra and Slam Stewart, Jack Maheu & Salt City Six, Muggzie Gutt & His Matriculators and Paul Squire & the Orange Peels. Recently an original composition was premiered at the Idyllwild Jazz Festival." http://www.desertcitiesjazzband.com/ Edited March 9, 2011 by Niko Quote
Spontooneous Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 So is this guy kin to Lou McGarity? Quote
B. Clugston Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 McGarrity is second from right in the second row of this photo. Looks like it might be the same guy. Quote
