I worked with a general contractor back in the 70s and we remodeled Ella Fitzgeralds house in Beverly Hills. When we were finished with the job she gave us a party with food and 100 buck bonus. She was sweet.

The Hawk! I have ALL his recordings. The Adderleys, Nat, on Trumpet, and “Cannonball”, on sax, were first rate also.
Sax is my favorite Jazz instrument.
Fabulous stuff!
I grew up in a Chicago suburb. Was able to go downtown to jazz clubs, saw Oscar Peterson at the London House, Stan Kenton in some other place. Also saw
Ahmad Jamal at London House and a brand new unknown singer named Barbara Streisand. Knew instantly she would be “the greatest star.”
