It's one of the most famous small outfits in the jazz era. I can't think of his name, and that irritates me, but the piano player, with the Modern Jazz Quartet, had taken some time off, tremendous musician, to write some arrangements for Ella Fitzgerald, and he was traveling with Ella during this period of time. He wasn't playing for her. Ella had a piano player, a gentleman out of Washington, D.C. He died a couple of years ago. Maybe his name will come to me. But anyway, this is from the Modern Jazz Quartet and writing some arrangements for Ella, tremendous musician, beautiful stuff he wrote. Was just a pleasure to rehearse with you between shows, and we'd rehearse this stuff for him just as a favor, just to do it, because his writing was so beautiful, we enjoyed playing it. And never forget one of my most embarrassing moments. He had writen an arrangement on -- [hums]. \"Oh, My Man, I Love Him So.\" Ella decided to do it. During the week in the show. And we rehearsed it in the basement of the theater. And we played it for her. And he was, of course. Standing in the wings then came off stage. He said to me, \"How did it go for you? It sounded great from out here.\" I said, \"Well, it sounded good to me, but I keep thinking about I did this thing for Billie Holiday a half a dozen times, and I kept hearing Billie.\" And I turn around and Ella was standing right at my shoulder.

I had some feeling that there was not too much of a good feeling between them because I had a friend of mine, from school days that I had played with, named James Harris, a trumpet player. We met in school in Alabama and went separate ways. He was a trumpet player, fine musician, and a fine looking fellow. I was doing the show with Ella Fitzgerald, and he came over from New York. He was making it with Ella, at the time. So after the show, I took them out, and I took them to a place called Gordon's, never forget, it's on the Druid Hill Avenue, the Black restaurant in Baltimore at the time, Druid Hill Avenue right across from the YMCA, the same Y that's been in the papers for the last couple of days, they were going to renovate it.

Because we're having some problems at the Royal Theatre. 1953 was the year I went back there. Well, it was '52 and a half, because I had been working for the federal government for a year and a half, and I was going to leave and go back to the theater, and I think I told you, the adjutant general at Fort Holabird and I had become pretty friendly, you know, an army trombone player. We had become kind of friendly. I was still doing gigs at night, and I carried him on a gig or two with me. And it was his idea. He said, why don't you do both? He said with the government leave policy, maybe you can do both. So, I tried it, and I did from '53 to '66. Because then the shows had greatly diminished.

Because you really didn't have time to do much between shows, and unlike some other jobs where somebody could cover for you, this is not a game where somebody can cover for you. This is one of the things, so you have to be there. And that's what led, I think, to a lot of the problems. Because the cast, for the most part, is trying to do the same regimen. You just have to be there because there's not enough time between shows to do anything. Besides, if they see the house start overflowing, they stick in an extra show. So you figure, \"Well, I got an hour and a half or two hours, I can do this or do that.\" And the sickest feeling in the world is walking through that stage door and hearing the show.
