Michael Weiss Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 October 21, 2012 I've seen Frank Wess, Etta Jones (all the time), Stan Getz, and others. But unless he appeared on a Friday or Saturday before (which I rarely try), this is the first time I've seen Thad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I've seen it in an LA Times puzzle. Couple of weeks ago I think. CAn't remember the clue. Maybe "bandleader Jones". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Many, many years ago when Eugene T. Maleska was the crossword puzzle editor at the NY Times, he had a puzzle with a clue that was something like "jazz singer Art." The answer was Tatum. I sent him a short note pointing out that he might want to identify Tatum as a pianist in the future. He thanked me, said he had been misinformed, and mentioned that he had a recent book that was available. Ella shows up occasionally, no doubt due to the common letters in her name.

jazztrain Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Saw that also. Thought at first that "____ Pepper" (3 letters) was going to be ART, but it was SGT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
