 Jazz organist Lou Bennett dies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
After working for a time as a shoemaker, Bennett finally bought an organ and formed a trio, inspired by that of Nat King Cole.
He turned professionnal in the early 1950's and after touring the United States came to Paris in 1960 and was taken on at the Blue Note on the recommendation of singer Babs Gonzalez.
Bennett spent most of the rest of his career in Europe, particularly France, appearing with such "exiled" artists as drummer Kenny Clarke and guitarist Jimmy Gourley.

 Bennie Green   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Green was a trombonist known for his bebopper's ear and swing attack.
The tunes often have the simplicity and directness of funk riffs, with short Babs Gonzalez-style group vocal intros (we're talking '58 funk here).
But Green knows how to work those riffs over without wearing them out, whether blasting away a staccato line with a single note or unfolding long melodies with Ellingtonian lyricism.

The Mosaic box opens with The Young Lions, an album that makes it clear how well they worked together, especially on Shorter’s dramatically unconventional “Peaches and Cream,” where his darkly twisting lines and stark tone create a vivid contrast to Morgan’s fat, sunny tone and surging lyrical statements.
Morgan, who had previously led sessions for Blue Note, features saxophonist Clifford Jordan and drummer Blakey on his two for Vee Jay, Here’s Lee Morgan and Expoobident (a neologism coined by hipster Babs Gonzalez).
Morgan and Jordan establish their own warm front-line sound, and with Blakey providing his usual push, Morgan brings out all sides of his playing.

 Dusty Groove America - Vocals LP
Babs is in fine form on the album (is he ever not?) -- and the record includes some of his best moody originals, like "Lullaby Of The Doomed" and "Lonely One" -- plus more uptempo tracks like "Cool Cooking", "Speedy Gonzales", "Babs Mood For Love" and a hip rendition of "Le Continental".
Babs was part singer, part poet, and part philosophy -- working in a jive-heavy style that was filled with inside jokes on the New York jazz scene of the postwar years -- and peopled with odd characters from that scene, including musicians, hustlers, hookers, and small-time crooks.
Babs speaks and sings on the set, backed by arrangements from Melba Liston, played by a small combo that includes Kenny Burrell, Peck Morrison, and Roy Haynes.

 Sonny Rollins @ The Jazz Files
While still in high school, Rollins caught glimpses of Charlie Parker on 52nd Street and rehearsals in the kitchen of Thelonious Monk.
He was the brightest light in a neighbourhood group of future jazz stars that also included Jackie McLean, Kenny Drew, and Art Taylor; and before he turned 20 he was working and recording with Babs Gonzalez, J.J Johnson, Bud Powell, and Miles Davis.
A 1951 session with the trumpeter led to his own recording contract, and for the next three years, until he withdrew to conquer a too common drug problem with uncommon finality, he became acknowledged as the most brash and creative young tenor on the scene in work with Davis, Monk, and the Modern jazz Quartet.

 Guardian | Sonny Rollins, Young Rollins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Sonny Rollins has many fans, and it may be that only the specialists or the obsessives would feel the need for these obscure early recordings.
But a little closer attention to these cuts, beginning with an 18-year-old Rollins's appearances with rather irritating novelty bop-scatter Babs Gonzalez's groups in 1949, reveals the artist's awesome maturity of conception at what ought to have been a nascent stage.
Anybody who heard him live in London a few weeks ago will recognise the same brusquely commanding attack, the same hoarse, interrogatory phrasing and sudden, lissome bursts of Charlie Parker bebop.

Timbuktu became his home base, but he traveled around much of the world—a boho hobo and proud of it—doing poetry readings, writing jazz criticism, creating "happenings" as such events came to be called.
He exchanged ideas with the leading figures of surrealism, hung out with Jack Kerouac, met an admiring Malcolm X, broke bread with Afro-Cuban painter Wifredo Lam and African American painter Bob Thompson, swapped bread tales with singer and hustler "Babs" Gonzalez, and played invisible man when the invites came with no bread.
In recent years, he lived and traveled with his companion/compatriot, artist Laura Corsiglia Joans.

In Harlem, Rollins's contemporaries included Jackie McLean, Kenny Drew, and Art Taylor.

Bandleader and drummer Harold Austin records "Austin's First" and Austin's Second" for Atlas as does Babs Gonzalez with "Teenage Santa Claus" and "Pay Dem Dues" on #1206.
Tommy Robinson had kept Atlas going for seven years in which he saw only a few successful productions come to pass, then concentrating his efforts during the latter part of the decade on Angle Tone he found success was still a difficult goal to achieve.
