<font size="+1">A Happy and healthy YEAR to you (everyone reading
this message)!<br>
There were four brothers (not Stan Getz, Al Cohn etc.) Phil,
Marty, Andy and I forget the other one, maybe Teddy.<br>
<br>
There was also a well know Saxophone / Clarinet repair man "Lou",
uncle to the brothers.<br>
<br>
I hired Marty on many occasions. Prior to one session, he played
Chopin for about a half hour.<br>
Buddy Rich's manager, my memory is gone, eventually recorded Marty
playing classical music.<br>
The Lp was never released. I was given a test pressing. <br>
<br>
What blew my mind about the family, every Sunday night the
brothers were on the telephone connecting with each other. Andy
played drums. I met him when I was asked to sub at Tony Pastors on
West 3rd Street and 8th(?) Avenue. Greenwich Village. I was
working across the street at Mona's, 6 nights a week, Monday night
off.<br>
Snap shot inside of Mona's. The singer is Esther Sutherland. The
year 1953 or 1954.<br>

Al - happy holiday ! Who's Andy Napoleon - do you mean Marty
Napoleon ? He was a terrific pianist. I worked with him several
times in the city. A very nice guy as well. Rich Pearl</blockquote>
