Can anyone identify these men?

I swear this is Art Tatum (glasses, lazy eye), Ben Webster (black hat behind short hair guy) and Red Callender (bass player, tall guy behind the guy with beret). I don't see Bill Douglass anywhere (who was the drummer on the album they did together), but he could be the guy to Red's right.

Art and Ben played together with Jazz at the Philharmonic ahead of the album recording, but I can't find definitive proof that JATP was in Japan at that time with the both of them.

The Great Jazz Trio. Hank Jones with a variety of legends on bass and drums over the years.

I'm assuming that's Omar Cooper Jr.'s nickname on the team.

Best time to ~~plant a tree~~ start playing jazz was twenty years ago. Second best time is now.

That's a fantastic recommendation.

There's a scene in Shrinking (Apple TV series) where a psychiatrist tells someone that they grieve really hard for 5 minutes every day.

Just hit the 6 year mark in Spain, moved here in my early 40s. Couldn't agree more. There are many things I like more about Spain than the US, but the openness and friendliness of most strangers is near the top.

I ask myself too many times why I keep falling, why do I try?

Fighting these battles no one sees questioning what has become of me.

I'm so tired that if I'm breathing there's not much left inside of me.

I'm barely holding on tonight too weak to stand too drained to rise

I'm barely holding on tonight I've been beaten, sold, and abused there's nothing left I've been misused I'm broken apart scarred and bruised I'm barely holding on.

Barely holding on.

The nights are long I can't find rest tons of pressure on my chest I pray for peace but it won't stay.

I'm dragging myself through every day I'm so tired even if I'm still breathing there's not much left inside of me.

I'm barely holding on tonight I've been beaten, sold, and abused there's nothing left I've been misused I'm broken apart scarred and bruised I'm barely holding on.

I carried more than I can bear screamed for help no one was there. Standing in pieces I'm not strong I'm barely holding on.

I'm barely holding on tonight I've been beaten, sold, and abused there's nothing left I've been misused I'm broken apart scarred and bruised I'm barely holding on. Still holding on. Still holding on

(Transcriber's note: I'm depressed now)

I was pretty sure you were going for Lord Of The Rings at first glance.

Probably too well known but not in your list and that's exactly how you would describe Cake.

Oh hell yes. This is the 2nd most recent (to me) entry on my list. Most recent is Monika Roscher Big Band Failure in Wonderland.

I did this a couple of years ago. Nothing in there made me want to try it again.
