Who Was Dobbie Hiques?

[JSngry]

I find him on two Ray Bryant Cadet sides and nowhere else? real person or studio pseudonym? Debbie Hicks? Dobbie Hiques?

in Chris Albertson's *** DB review of Up Above The Rock (15 May 1969 issue), he notes that "Except for a few bars on Dag Nab It (I could almost swear they were played by Clark Terry), the horns are relegated to playing arrangements behind Bryant" (and that's the only time the word "Hiques" appears in Downbeat according to my - far from perfect - computer)

Interesting. Thanks!

Don’t know if this has any bearing but I believe the surname Xiques is pronounced hickus.
