The first photo is of Tariq Shah, who is serving up to 15 years for terrorism. He is absolutely one of the nicest guys I know from the Harlem jazz scene, and a hell of a bass player; and I would be very interested in hearing his side of the story. I'm sure he had a weak lawyer. I'll keep you posted. And please keep me posted.
The second photo is of Nelson, who passed away a year or so ago. He used to manage St. Nick's Pub. They hung that photo of him from the 70's on the club's wall with the caption stating THE MAN. Cool shot! (That's Salim Washington reflected onstage playing tenor with Donald Smith's band on a recent Friday night).
The third photo is of the man MCing many of the shows at St. Nick's Pub, and when he's not, he's reading everything he can get his hands on and transforming all the new knowledge into freestyle raps to the jazz rhythms that surround him onstage. His name is Floyd Brian Davis. The photo was taken at a show on the Minton's Playhouse stage.
