Dizzy Gilhespie top right, Miles Davis mid right. Good work. My thing.

Fabulous work, Fred. I love the saxophone, but I’m biased, my daughter is a music teacher and a saxophonist as well as a pianist.

Actually Derek, it is the Dave Brubeck Quartet. You must be proud of having great jazz memories on your wall. I did see the MJQ at the Dominion in Tottenham Court Road in the fifties.
