[edit]

Am slightly confused by the reference to the following:

His playing influenced Harry Gibson profoundly.

Harry Gibson was a pianist and while it is possible that one musician can influence another, I would like to know what relationship the two might have had. Thanx. Technopat 23:36, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence in question remained unsourced over three years after someone mentioned it on the talk page. I have removed the sentence. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


This recording title makes very little sense

[edit]

"Davis may be heard playing on the 1973 CBS album Ella Fitzgerald at the Newport Jazz Festival Live at Carnegie Hall on the song "Young Man with a Horn"."

At the Newport Jazz Festival cannot be the same thing as at Carnegie Hall. These are in different states. Is the title a bit mixed up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.4.233 (talk) 01:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's what they called the album – Newport Jazz Festival: Live at Carnegie Hall. For several years the "Newport" Jazz Festival took place at various locations in the New York City area. DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 04:04, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody know how exackly how he got the moniker 'LockJaw'? I can't remember where I heard the the anecdote, but the way I got it he was doing a solo, got hung up on one particular note and got percussive with it, even walking outside the club onto the street honking away. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.221.73.61 (talk) 19:55, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
