Christiern Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks, Marcello. Teddy had grown considerably (in all directions) by 1960, when I met him. 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
