who's on the cover of Blakey's

[CJ Shearn]

is that Lee and Ruth Lion? it looks like Lee's ears to me.

[mgraham333]

for reference

[Chuck Nessa]

Just some fashion models hired by Reid Miles, or Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore.

[Big Al]

Always thought that was Wayne Shorter and his wife (whose name escapes me at the moment).

I take it the RVG doesn't say who it is?

[CJ Shearn]

yeah Big Al, I thought maybe it was Wayne, and his wife at that time was named Miyako right? I think I can see an Asian face from the profile

[clifford_thornton]

[doubleM]

The profile almost looks inhuman, like a puppet holding a marischino cherry.

[jazzbo]

I would agree with Chuck. That is not Wayne. I can't see Bu letting a sideman be featured without him on a cover either.

This is Wayne & Miyako:

Contrast and compare.
