Good-bye Pork Pie Hat





Charles Mingus wrote this one in tribute to sax great Lester Young: Good-bye Pork Pie Hat.


And here's Pres himself, Lester Young, with a fine group of players: Jitterbug Jam

This is a great bit of film, complete with dancers!

I would wear one of those hats! I particularly like the top one, with the wee feather.
