Bob was presumably as delighted as were several others when Warren at the end of Chaix's solo on "Take the A Train" had him take another without the drummer and Bob's brother on bass.


Robert,

Bob's brother Len played piano and drums- I've never heard of him 
playing bass and I've been following their careers since 1949. Bob used 
to play a feature with his bass player Wally Wickham which he called 
JUST WALLY AND ME, it was usually MY BLUE HEAVEN. Sometimes the rest of 
the band would join it for the final bars.

Best wishes
