А ещё в своих мемуарах Тапскотт упоминает некоторые обстоятельства смерти Уорделла Грея (1921-1955), которые мне ранее нигде не встречались: It wasn’t too long after Wardell Gray had been killed up there .We figured it was either Wardell fooling around with a white girl or it had something to do with narcotics. It might also have been a case of mistaken identity.Wardell wasn’t by himself. There was another cat the mob was after, a dancer named Teddy Hale or something, and Wardell just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It wasn’t just a random thing, because they made sure. They cut his head off and left it in one place and the body in another. That’s why we knew it was one of the mobs up there . They don’t fool around and nobody gets blamed for the murder, if the victim’s black. The dancer got away and never went back to Vegas. Вы разумеется знаете, кто такой Уорделл Грей, ибо двухтомник Wardell Gray Memorial (Prestige, 1955) имеется в каждом приличном доме.

И напрасно. Я прекрасно знаю, что у тебя эта пластинка есть:-)

А вот и нет. У меня есть двойной сборник Central Avenue. Я и не претендую на приличие.

There wouldn't be Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull as such the know and love them without Roland Kirk. Please listen to Serenade to a Cuckoo from thie debut album This Was (1968) and it'll become clear:
