Jazz quiz

[White Knight]

@ Gord, The french horn player on that album is named Junior Collins. Would that be the right answer, then, Mike?

 

[OLDUDE]

I think that this is still the type of quiz that I prefer.
If anyone agrees, then let me know and I will start it going again.
If there is no support I will forget about it.

 

[stu]

Maybe feature both quizzes John. I just sorta figured out how to post to other one (although I am still getting it wrong!)
But both might work okay.

 

[OLDUDE]

Does anybody else agree?

 

[White Knight]

I'm good with that, John.

 

[marval]

Please do John, it would be a shame to stop it.

Thank you John, I look forward to your question.

This saxophonist, a contemporary of Art Pepper in more ways than one,
had a career spanning 50 years.

 

[OLDUDE]

1st clue: his father was a guitarist for a famous pop vocal group

 

[OLDUDE]

Not much of a response coming through guys.
2nd clue - the vocal group was "the Inkspots"

 

[stu]

Sorry John but I just can't come up with an answer.
I'll try -Al Cohn.

 

[OLDUDE]

Sorry Stu, not Al Cohn.

Final clue coming up -
while in San Quentin for drug offences in the 60s he and Art Pepper, (also an inmate for the same reason),
formed a small jazz ensemble.

 

[stu]

Ah ha!! Would that be the alto player Frank Morgan?

 

[OLDUDE]

Now you've got it stu.
Is it worth keeping this going? If so can you please go next stu.

 

[stu]

Whenever a certain piano player walked in a jazz club his presence was often acknowledged as such, "Ladies and gentlemen, God is in the house!"

[stu]

You got it, Gord.
