Henry "Red" Allen


This is more about how much I love this image than it is about Red Allen. I got turned onto Red though the seminal "The Sound of Jazz" which I have since found on DVD. Required for all Jazz lovers....

Here's Red with the all-stars assembled that day in 1957 by Jazz critics Nat Hentoff and Whitney Balliet for a program of live Jazz on CBS television.

WAMP! WAMP!
