Mystery photo

[Hardbopjazz]

I have to admit, I have no idea who this bass player is. Does anyone have a guess as to who it might be.

[Hardbopjazz]

This one I know. Do you know who this is?

[Hardbopjazz]

These 2 guys, I have no idea. Any guesses?

Is the guy on the left Woody Shaw?

[sidewinder]

That was exactly my first thought.

[AllenLowe]

is that other photo Jay McShann?

I thought it looked like McShann too (meaning the photo in the 2nd post).

(Living in Kansas City these past 10 years, I've seen pictures of him, here and there, more often that I would have otherwise.)

Photo #1 is bassist, Bob Cunningham

Photo #2 is Cecil Payne

[Rooster_Ties]

I don't know. That second one really does look like quite a bit like McShann, doncha think??

Somebody let me know if all these hot-linked pics aren't comin' through OK. Thanks!!

Separated at birth?!

But I'd say Payne is correct - look at the front edge of the hair: straight not pointed.

Photo #2 and #3 seem to be from the same place - same date as well? Woody Shaw was my thought for the other fellow - I note that Payne and Shaw recorded together in 1969 with Archie Shepp. (Shaw and McShann - never).

wait - I knew a Bob Cunningham who played bass with Al Haig - but he was white -

Nice little Bob Cunningham photo gallery here: http://www.bobcunninghambass.com/

Can't hot-link the photos here. No. 1 is beautiful: lined up on a skinny pier stretching out into a big lake are Bob (with bass!), Dexter Gordon, "friend", Red Mitchell and Kenny Drew -- while a bunch of happy little kids splash in the water alongside!

And 10 and 11 are a trip: a performance at San Quentin prison, with Bob, Lalo Schifrin, Chuck Lampkin, Leo Wright -- and Dick Gregory "who joined us and played the bongos!"

[AllenLowe]

must be a different Bob Cunningham -

[Spontooneous]

Not McShann, no way. McShann's face is much rounder. I like the Cecil Payne theory.

This one I know. Do you know who this is?

This second photo is Cicel Payne. The others names are never mentioned in the film. I thought Woody Shaw too, but he walked into the room with a Tenor. Plus the year is 1990, and Shaw was dead by then.

That's not Charles Lloyd is it? On the right, that is.

What film is this from?

It’s a documentary of Illinois Jacquet. This part his band were in France preforming in an very old castle. The film lacks on some details. I have to watch the closing credits to see if I can catch the names of the musicians in the band.

[Michael Fitzgerald]

Perhaps:

Neben Altmeister Jacquet spielen u.a. Hugh Brodie (ts), Cecil Payne (bs), Larry Ham (as), Dick Griffin (tb), Frank Gordon, John Gordon (tps), Pat O'Leary und Richard Wyands (p), Bob Cunningham (b) und Bernard Purdie (dm).

Oh, that Texas Tenor thing. I taped that of off Bravo way back when. Good documentary. Been years since I looked at it, though...

I've got a Hugh Brodie CD, UNFORGETTABLE JAZZ (largely an inaccurate title, unfortunately...) and I don't see him in any of these pictures, so we can narrow the list of possibilities down by at least one...

[Michael Fitzgerald]

OK - here's a big list:

Richard Wyands, Illinois Jacquet, Gary Sargent, Dan Frank, Randy Eckert, Dan Morgenstern, Dizzy Gillespie, Tom Olin, Al Hibbler, Bernard Purdie, Dick Griffin, Irwin Stokes, Pat O'Leary, Kenneth Bolds, Dorothy Donegan, Matt Haviland, John Gordon, Emilio Lyons, Arnett Cobb, Clark Terry, Larry Ham, Milt Hinton, Bob Porter, Cecil Payne, Joshua Roseman, Mona Hinton, Sonny Rollins, Arthur Daniels, John Grimes, Walter Blanding, Jr., Jonah Jones, Aubrey Tucker, Matthew Hong, David C. Glasser, Bob Cunningham, Ron Della Chiesa, Edward Preston, Harry Edison, "Wild" Bill Davis, Buddy Tate Rudy Rutherford, Javon Jackson, Marik Vos-Lundh, Hugh Brodie, Lionel Hampton, John Simon, Jim Leff

P.S. - pretty sure Gary Sargent s/b Gray Sargent

Mike, it is the Texas Tenors. Great film.
