Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 (edited) Mezz Mezzrow the coiner of the Masters Tourney back stretch. But I'm just googling here. Edited March 5, 2004 by Man with the Golden Arm Quote
couw Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 (edited) mezz (so I don't think it's him in the green jacket) Edited March 5, 2004 by couw Quote
Dr. Rat Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 mezz (so I don't think it's him in the green jacket) OK, so Mezz is not in the frame, but is that Mezz with the golf club? Can't be, can it? --eric Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 (edited) Well I guess my guess is just that. I ran with Dimitry's hint and recalled that "Amen Corner" in Augusta was named for a jazz song. Lo and behold I arrived at that, which is "Shouting at Amen Corner" by Mezzrow. In 1958 Arnie won the match in the corner and that term was coined in Sports Illustrated after the moment. So I posted the man above. I would have bet money and did not even look for Mezz' chubby balding pix to compare. And since the Masters is right around the corner and since no one in their right mind that would have anything to do with the Masters back then would have ever used a term based on a song by a 'black' jazz musician. No new crime show for me this fall. Edited March 5, 2004 by Man with the Golden Arm Quote
Dmitry Posted March 5, 2004 Author Report Posted March 5, 2004 Guys, the green jacket hint was 100% unintentional. I have no idea who the subject is... Quote

Dr. Rat Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 Jimmy Giuffre? I think he picked up the clarinet late, didn't he? Much later I think than this photo must be from. Quote
catesta Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 I'm not exactly sure, I was trying to gauge more by the amount of hair he had earlier on. B) Quote

Dmitry Posted March 6, 2004 Author Report Posted March 6, 2004 It could be some actor, I guess. Photo is definitely professionally done and hand-colored. Something tells me brownie might know. He has a good eye for photography. Quote
