He's using thumb cos that's the way he taught himself to play the guitar. He used his thumb instead of a pick cos he had a day job and he practiced guitar when he got home at night. He didn't want to disturb his wife in bed so he didn't use a pick but his thumb which produces a softer, more mellow sound. Another guitar great gone way too early, like Robert Johnson, Charlie Christian and Jimi Hendrix.

The sax player second from the left is the very famous English jazz saxophonist Ronnie Scott, RIP, who also owned the very famous 'Ronnie Scott's' jazz club in London,,where all the legendary jazz players/singers performed.
