Any guess as to who are the other two musicians? George liked performing with her.

Wilder.

Thanks. I don't know how tall Benny Golson is.

Not that I want to search out a Madonna recording but where does this come from?

Could the saxophonist on the left be Patience Higgins?

Ken Peplowski recorded on a Madonna album, though she wasn't present when he made his contributions. He laughed at her wretched vocals.

That's Benny Golson on the left.

I can't find any reference online as to what this picture references, either a video shoot, tour date, or something else. Madonna's outfit suggests it's not a recording date either.

Just a guess, but maybe for the filming of Dick Tracy?

I searched with Google Lens.

It's a promotional picture ("lobby card") for the film Truth or Dare. Photographer was Steven Meisel, but I could find no other credits.

I've not seen the film and never will. 😉 Madonna is a taste I never acquired.

I don't mind Madonna as sociology. If I find the movie for free, I might take a look.

George Coleman posted on his Facebook page. He worked on one of her projects.

That facebook link shows a comment saying it is Benny Golson and Joe Wilder. Makes sense.
