Who is the trumpet player on the left?

[Hardbopjazz]

I know the musicians are Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Hot Lips Page and Lenny Trisano, but who is the other trumpet player? I can't see who is on drums and bass so I 'm trying to figure them out from this photo.

Max Kaminsky on trumpet.

A source names George Wettling as the drummer.

Wow! 98 cents, tax included. (And whatever happened to That Great Young Vocalist Harry Belafonte?)

I know that photo from Francis Paudras´ book "To Bird with Love".

Really, some broadcast of Bird together with Max Kaminsky from around that time exists.

[Indestructible!]

Was any of this recorded? If so, is it circulating out there?

[brownie]

Maybe researchers at the Voice of America (VOA has a small banner on fhe left side of the bandstand) will one day discover there are traces of that evening in their archives but so far none has surfaced

The Bird-Kaminsky encounter I got on record, is from March 4 1949 CBS Adventures in Jazz, TV broadcast, NY 1949, the other trumpet player is Miles, Others involved on those 4 tracks are Kai Winding, Max Roach, Ann Baker ( voc on "I got a kick out of you) etc .....

Bird and Max Kaminsky, eh? Another across-the-styles meeting was when Bird recorded with a Metronome All Stars that included baritonist Ernie Caceres, more usually associated with Bobby Hackett or Jack Teagarden. Here's the back story:
