 Definitely. When I retrieved the photo link from discogs I did a double-take, thinking it was the middle digit!

Love this balls-to-the-wall record. There's nothing else quite like it. Its would-be successor Salim's "Bliues Suite" is not up to the same level IIRC.

Quartet Out "Live at the Meat House".

Wynton was right to champion this one for the sound of the band:

Apparently the photo of Bud was taken at Birdland where the Stan Kenton Orchestra was appearing at the same time. The saxophone belongs to one of Kenton's musicians. You can see a bit of the music stand in the lower left corner. 

Oh, I never could have guessed that. That means possibly , that Bud sat in with the band or with some of the band members. Too bad that this was not recorded, it would have been of great interest. 

In Francis Paudras´ book written in French, there is a photo of Bud and Stan Kenton, both smiling. Maybe they got along well, even or because of their different music styles.

Bird was the greatest innovator and improviser in all of jazz.
