Allen Lowe Doppelganger Spotted!

[Dan Gould]

So I was looking thru a discogs seller listings for other possible LPs to consider and came across something that seemed extremely obscure and therefore right up my alley for "I'll give it a listen if the price is dirt cheap," which it was once he accepted my $2 offer.

The cover was the only photo on the listing and the artist was in profile but I got the LP and I gotta say, this cat could be Allen Lowe, couldn't he?  What do y'all say?

Amusingly he goes by "Eddie Berger" on the cover which left me wondering whether the Ed Berger who did so much for Benny Carter also played tenor. 😁

I was thinking it could be Alan Skidmore. Alan or Allen? 😀

This guy?

He's from Minnesota and seems to favor really big shoelaces?

The photo I posted is the back cover of your first picture. That second one clearly not Allen (or Alan) like. 😒

That second one looks like Lew Tabackin having seen better days.

fwiw, the browser i'm in now does not show your posted pic.

Strange because Sidewinder must have been able to see it to think it was someone else altogether.
