The pic at 0:30, of bassist Harry Babison, trumpeter Shorty Rogers, drummer Shelly Manne and pianist Marty Paich was taken at one of Harry's Monday night jam sessions at the Tradewinds in Inglewood. Them were the days.

You have a cool channel, too! I just subscribed. OK, I expect great stuff. LOL

Thanks for this! Great sounds. Ernie's announcement is cut off. He just says "The Eagle Flies on the upbeat." -- Have uploaded two great tracks with Ginnie Powell, one of the most underrated, but actually one of the hippest cats of the mid, late 1940's.

Wow...Boyd influenced Steely Dan like a sonofabitch.
