DukeCity Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 No, "lee morgan" was the cat's wife's name...like Lee Meriwether Wait, Lee Meriwether played bass with Bill Evans on a gig at the Jazz Record Mart? Quote
jazzbo Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) I thought it might be Vivien Gerry, but I guess not. . . . .(?) Edited November 27, 2009 by jazzbo Quote

Exactly. With Barrett Deems on drums. No, no, no - Roy Meriwether was married to Lee Meriwether, and Bill Evans played their wedding reception, which was held at the JRM. Barrett Deems was nowhere to be seen, at least not that day. Quote
bichos Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 she can´t play bass but i like her very much... keep boppin´ marcel Quote
epistrophy007 Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Posted November 29, 2009 Now I know that it's Al Haig (in the fifties) I'm even more curious about her identity! Is there maybe an Haig biography out that can give a solution? j. Quote

I don't know. . . could it be Vivien some years later? Eyes, nose, arms, fingers look possible. Edited November 29, 2009 by jazzbo Quote
Larry Kart Posted November 30, 2009 Report Posted November 30, 2009 Bonnie Wetzel? Bonnie Wetzel? Very good guess, but I don't know what she looks like. Chris A. posted a link to a picture of Wetzel and drummer Elaine Leighton a few years ago, on a thread about Leighton, but the link no longer is there. Perhaps Chris could post it again. BTW, I'm no longer clear about what the issue is here. That is, we've now seen the photo with Haig and the female bassist (who really seems to be into it, no?) Is that the photo that the person who started this thread was thinking of, and thus there is no evidence of a photo of Evans with an as yet unidentified female bassist? Or is there this Haig photo and a similar Evans photo? Quote
JSngry Posted November 30, 2009 Report Posted November 30, 2009 Found a part of the picture on the net... Maybe the picture was indeed mislabeled in my book... It's used as a cover for an album by AL HAIG, Piano Interpretations...Though he doesn't look like a young Haig to me either... The female basist isn't visableon the cover... http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=n86nzm2jbz Thus there is no evidence of a photo of Evans with an as yet unidentified female bassist. Quote

I don't know. . . could it be Vivien some years later? Eyes, nose, arms, fingers look possible. Yeah maybe it's Garry But to me Garry looks a little bit more, excusez le mot, voluptuous than the bassplayer on the Haig pic. Bonnie Wetzel? Bonnie Wetzel? One of the two dames behind Beryl Booker is Bonnie Wetzel. None of them look like the bassplayer on the Haig picture, to me. The Beryl Booker picture is from the mid fifties, the same period as the Haig picture. http://www.berylbooker.com/Templates/Beryl...oker%20Trio.jpg j. Quote

I saw that picture too, but not a confirmation as to the identity of anybody. Did I miss something? Quote
