MG, your request is duly noted and I will look for photos of producers, but I don't think I have many. In the meantime...

Stereojack Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Savoy Session 1947, L to R: Trummy Young, Teddy Reig, Dexter Gordon Person seated in the background has yet to be identified. Looks like Red Rodney to me. Lower face doesn't look like Red to me. I agree with Chuck. I don't think it's Rodney. The only Savoy date on which Trummy and Dexter appear together is the Elk's Auditorium live gig on July 6, 1947, originally issued on Bop (probably a Reig created label) and later issued on Savoy. Eliminating all the obvious names, other musicians on the date included Barney Kessel, Russ Freeman, Harry Babasin. I don't think it's any of them although I'm not ruling Freeman out. The only other names are the unknowns Leroy Gray and Ken Kennedy. Quote
