Dmitry Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Nice photo, Big Beat Steve. Never seen it before. Just dug this from the Internets - Jet, April 22, 1954: The actress has “midgets” Frankie Dee and Pee Wee Marquette fighting over her.

makpjazz57 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Folks, I have been looking for years for a David Letterman show aired in early 1985 with Pee Wee Marquette. I found it this morning! Someone was going through his old vcr tapes and came across the show!!!! It is priceless: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Didn't look like half a motherfucker to me. Also did not look like a female impersonating a male, which I seem to recall Chris Albertson saying about him. Very unexpected pleasure, thanks Marla!

Ken Dryden Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Bassist Bill Crow had fun describing what happened the night that Pee Wee forgot his name and had to ask someone in order to schmooze for his tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makpjazz57 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I laughed pretty hard when he talked about not asking for tips which goes against the truth which was no tip, I'm gonna mess up your name when I announce you. Also, the watch he received from Charlie Parker - he sold it!!!! Wondering if Bird gave it to him as a "tip." So happy to be able to share this rare piece of jazz history!

sidewinder Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Amazing selection of 'flair' that he was wearing. That watch chain from Bird made me laugh too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 That's the problem with jazz today, too many nerds, not enough Pee Wee Marquettes, an unhealthy balance, to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
