Thanks O Wise One.
After watching Lee's solo performance on "Night in Tunisia" with a young violet (Wayne Shorter [NYU]) in the back ground,it brought tears to my eyes and memories of a remark made by Nat Hentoff who attended a Dizzy gig and who heard an unbelieving trumpet solo while the band was warming up on the bandstand only to discover he was talking to Dizzy while hearing the trumpet.
As he turned around,he saw a a cat from Mastbaum Tech who while in his teens was a big hit among the folks who showed up at Music City,
Philadelphia,Pa
BTW,I didn't see Bobby Timmons in that clip or a pianist for that matter,and the bassist was Jymie Merritt of Philadelphia,and Pittsburgh own Art Blakey who I may say looked damn spiffy in his bow-tie.
At a later date,I'll shake things up by discussing Mr.Blakey's Pennsylvania Messengers as opposed to his out-of- towners Messengers.


wasn't Buddy DeFranco.
I trust you too will share with us the great heights the Share with your fellow boardees solo prior gig a
