as was mentioned previously; jeff goldblum. i'm pretty good freinds with peter erskine. according to him, jeff likes to randomly pop into a club and sit in on piano. he's done it more than a couple times at rocco's where peter's trio with carpenter and pasqua have a semi regular.

Good to see this thread re-appear again, Erik. No-one has mentioned 'Sex and the City' star Kim Cattrall yet. She selected Coltrane's 'My Favourite Things' as one of her desert island disks for the BBC some time back. :wub:

She was married to bassist Mark Levinson, of the Paul Bley trio. They wrote a sex book together!

Elvis Costello was in the Vanguard a couple of Mondays ago with his father.

On another Monday night some 10 years ago or so: James Coburn with a fine babe on his arm.

I saw Phyllis Diller hanging out at Bradley's a few times.

Comic Charlie Callas used to always make it to Buddy Rich's gigs, both in NJ an NYC. In fact, Buddy usually had him sit in on drums on flag wavers such as "Love For Sale" or Bugle Call Rag."

Mark Levinson is mainly known nowadays for his celebrated highend hi-fi products:

I don't believe that Mark Levinson has any connection to the company that bears his name. I think that his new company is called Red Rose and has a store in Manhattan.
