I mulled over picking him as I had doubts that he'd get a QO - he did release an album entitled 'Forgotten Man' after all! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wikipedia gave me the names of Albert Heath (88, who played on his first album als a band leader) Julius Priester (88) and Reggie Workman (86). He played (once) with Sonny Rollins as well. But how many more are there? Edit: Found some more: Kenny Burrell (91), Louis Hayes (86), Roy Haynes (98), Archie Shepp (86), Carlos Ward (83). Heath died earlier this year, Haynes died this week: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/13/roy-haynes-obituary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
