Who is this again? I think all or most of his albums include the cat in the photo.

NO, African American guy, all his album covers show him with a cat, who is often on the piano.

We have discussed hem here, outside of the cat context.

Earl Hines' toupee?

You guys are letting me down.   We talked about this guy before.

A contemporary player or someone more "vintage"?

I think he was making records in the 70s. We've talked about him here before.

Cecil Taylor pic here

Doesn't seem to be an album cover and I suspect Photoshopping.

None of the other WBJ albums have a cat on them.

He's on the back cover of at least one of them.
