[edit] Infobox

I fail to see the point of infoboxes, but I added one. I've been wrong before. I am going to verify the dates of his career. His first jazz recording was in 1951, but he may have been a full-time professional musician before then. John FitzGerald 21:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

The latest performance dat I have found for him is 2004, in Nat reeves' bio at the Hartt School site. John FitzGerald 22:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Do you have a source for that? John FitzGerald 12:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Bleeding Gums Murphy implies that Sonny Rollins was the inspiration. John FitzGerald 15:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
