I believe that my former Jazz Ltd. boss, and owner of that Chicago jazz 
club, Bill Reinhardt moved to the San Diego
area after the long running club in th Big Windy closed. While there he 
formed a band to play, and then gave in to age
and the nuisances of beign a leader agian. It is my understanding that 
some, if not many, of his band evolved into the Chicago 6.
Perhaps someone will confirm or deny this information, but that was the 
way I heered it.
Bill passed away several years ago in his 90's. I worked for him several 
times, last time for a five-year span in the 60's.
Were I to ever to be a member of that Chicago 6 band, I would add a 
double touch of authenticity. I was born in Chicago
and cam back from Califrnia to  work in Chicago. "Big shoulders" iz us!
