Our roving jazz scene photographer, the great Pin Lim, was on hand to snap a few pics of the "Great Day In Houston" photo session at Texas Southern University on April 3rd. The purpose was to gather as many members of the Houston jazz scene as possible for a group shot, a la The Great Day in Harlem picture. Unfortunately, not everyone was available. However, it was still a tremendous turnout considering the last-minute notice.
A partial list of those in this photo:
Al Jones, Sylvester LaBlanc, Kyle Turner, Patrick Williams Sr, Joe Sample, Ken Ward, Bob Henschen, Bill Murry, Mike Owen, Lex Valk, Cody Moffett, Tweed Smith, Jeff Kelly, Kerry Wilkins, Bob Morgan, Robert Ceballos, Dave Cataia, Basirah Dean, Carl Lott Sr, Horace Alexander Young, Carl 'Sweets' Progue, Ardis Turner, Ricky Ford, Robert 'Doc' Saunders, Dean James, James Williams, Derrick Lewis, Marsha Fraiser, Michelle White, Terrance Tony, Jelando Johnson, Vernon Daniels, George Thomas, and Lizette Cobb.
This is not a complete roll call, just the faces we could recognize from the photo (or at least, that I recognized). We'll try to update with the complete list soon.
