For those who are not a member of FB's Rare Jazz Photos group I assume this will be appreciated. C Sharpe and Hank Mobley. From Michael Weiss, location and year not given.

Maybe @Michael Weiss can tell us more about it ? 
I never saw a picture of the older Hank Mobley.

Also with a birthday today (and still alive!)

That's cool. She's no Jerry Garcia.

[JSngry]

Precisely!!!!! 

Another birthday boy *and still dead!!!)

[JSngry]

Just found out that it's Emily Jones' birthday today!

Away from the Rangers 4-5 years, coming bach this year and her and Mike Maddox are the ONLY familiar faces on the TV. And Maddox has been gone for a while.

So Happy Birthday, Emily! Stay alert!

Kenny Burrell ! 

But I´m unable to recognize the following birthday people. Some seem to be not from the jazz music business so I can´t know them, but who is the bearded man on the art picture ? A classical composer ? Looks like that.....

[JSngry]

That's Herman Melville

Caroline Shaw is making some interesting music these days.

I got to see Eric Dolphy's saxophone at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix yesterday.  It's a Selmer Super Balanced Action alto, he played this one throughout his entire career.

[clifford_thornton]

Cool!

[Gheorghe]

Oh man, Dolphy ! My first alto I heard as a kid. Damn, I heard and fell in love with Dolphy before I had heard a note of Bird !!!

[Ken Dryden]

Eric Dolphy's flute was given to John Coltrane by Dolphy's parents after his death in 1964. I wonder if Ravi Coltrane owns it or where it is now.

Newport '55--which led to Miles signing with Columbia.

Great ! Are there more photos from that date ? I mean also with Monk ? 

[Rabshakeh]

It wasn't recorded was it? I'd love to hear it. I've searched around but my understanding is that it wasn't.

[jazzbo]

Yes, it's been on a gray market cd, and on Miles Davis Bootleg Series Vol. 4.

And honestly, lacking a real time perspective, it's hard for me to see what the real fuss was about. We'd go on yyo hear much more impactful performances. 

But there was a fuss, obviously. People couldn't know that.
