kh1958 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) this and that: What's happening with Abraham Burton these days? Anybody know? I've seen him play with the Mingus Big Band/Mingus Dynasty a few times over the last two or three years. In fact, he's scheduled to be in the saxophone section of the MBB this coming Monday at Jazz Standard. Edited January 17, 2009 by kh1958 Quote

Christiern Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 As I recall, Teddy Reig was somewhat corpulent—probably the biggest record producer I ever met. Quote
