Thanks for your help.

Branford Marsalis also adopted the Buckshot LeFonque moniker.
I also have a Billy Taylor CD with an alto player merely credited as "The Rabbit" - it's Johnny Hodges. Hodges also did a date under the name "Cue Porter".

That`s interesting. I was going to ask about a pseudonym very close to
the one you have mentioned for BG.
I have an old Extended 45 which I have transcribed to Cassette of Sweet
Georgia Brown played by Bird, Lester,Ventura,Willie Smith, Dizzy, Al
Killian, Lee Young on Ds and B Haddnott on bass. The piano player on
this recording is SHOELESS JOE JACKSON. Who is this piano player ? Does
anyone know ?
He does a helluva solo on SGB and near the end of the chorus on a
descending kind of sequence if I remember correctly and at a musically
appropriate moment it sounds like someone has dropped whole bunch of
coins on the keyboard, because he gets this metallic clinking sound on
that passage that actually sounds kind of neat. It`s not a piano effect.
It sounds like it was done by something else. I wonder how he did that ?
or who did it ? How`s that for trivia ?
Cheers,

I seem to recall that Thad Jones once used the name "Oliver King," an
obvious tribute to a horn player Jones must have admired, King Oliver.
Has anyone mentioned a very strange album from the 1960's called
'J.U.N.K.'? As I recall, the title stood for "Jazz University's New
Kicks'.
It featured several very big name jazz musicians, presumably in illicit
recordings or pirate editions or something. The liner notes were loaded
with very bizarre humor.
The perpetrators of this peculiar product evidently believed the name
'Morris" was quite funny.
Musicians included Ornette Morris, Miles Morris, Felonious Plunk and
Can He Bawl Naturally.

And Dave Brewbeak. I remember puzzling over this thing in a record store
where you could listen to albums before buying them. I took it into a
listening booth and discovered that all the tracks were parodies of the
musicians suggested by the puns. The whole thing was a joke, and come to
think of it, a pretty interesting one. I didn't buy it, but I wish I
had. The concept of releasing a record consisting entirely of parodies
of famous jazz musicians' styles has a lot in common with the humor of
George Crater, whatever his real name was, who had a column in Downbeat
around the same time. Imagine someone putting out a CD like that now.
Damon Short
I've got that record; does anyone know who the musicians actually were? (I
suspect that Dick Hyman was involved somehow...)

I've been aware of this record for thirty years, yet have never been
able to find any information to reveal who's really behind this.
Whoever created this has very carefully covered his tracks. Even the
Michel Ruppli Chess labels discography (the LP was on the Chess
subsidiary Argo) lists these tracks as by "Morris Grants", with no
details. Someone suggested Dick Hyman as a possible participant. I
doubt this, as this is probably a project that originated from Chicago,
the home base of Chess/Argo. I doubt that any "big name" musicians are
involved.

I've owned the J.U.N.K. album since it first
came out. I've always believed it had some
Boston connection because in the intorduction the
announcer states the concert is being recorded in
"Grove Hall, Massachusetts, above the bowling
alley." I grew up in Dorchester/Roxbury, in the
1950s, and there WAS a bowling alley in Grove
Hall at that time. How would someone know this
arcane fact unless they came from the area? And
he possesses a definate Boston accent. What to
you think?

I made a tape about 25 years ago of JUNK and play it occasionally, and I've
always wondered who was on it, particularly the pianist(s) who skewered
"Morris" Brubeck and "Theloneliest Plunk." Brilliant stuff.

My (probably flawed) memory throws up the name of Doc Sverinson, who is a
big-ish name. It seemed funny at the time, with the high and squeaky Paul
Desmond take-off and the ultra laid-back baritone of (I think) Merry Julligan.

Douglas Norwood
Some discussion of this LP came up on the Jazz West Coast Mailing List a
few weeks ago. Jack Tracy, who produced the LP, responded (mostly to the
effect that Norman Granz refused to speak to him for some time after the
LP appeared) but did not identify any of the musicians actually involved.
Somewhere along the way, I have heard that Doc Severenson may have
played on the date but that is only an unconfirmed rumor.
Douglas Norwood
Dizzy = B. Bopstein, Izzy Goldberg, Gabriel, John Burks
Allen Eager = A. N. Other
Red Rodney = Albino Red (don't think he actually recorded under that
name)
Howard McGhee = Maggsi Evonce
J. J. Johnson = C. C. Siegel
Douglas Norwood
Also:
Kunst Bauer = Art Farmer
Orlando Giralamo = Lanny di Jay
Teddy Charles = Teddy Cohen (not exactly a pseudonym - a "new" name)
Jerry Lloyd = Jerry Hurwitz (same deal)
Slim Romero = Fats Navarro
Sushil Bhattacharjee
Didn't Art Blakey call himself Ali Buhaina? I heard that this is the
source of the name of the album "Buhaina's Delight".
Maybe he officially adopted that name.

Art Blakey adopted the Islamic name Abdullah Ibn Buhaina, but kept his
original name in his professional life. His nickname was "Bu".

I think Art Blakey was born Abdullah Ibn Buhaina and then changed his name
to Art Blakey.
Did Gil Evans write 'Boplicity' under the name Cleo Henry on 'Birth of the
Cool' ?

Vice versa - he adopted the Islamic name sometime in the 1940's or early
50's.

The piece was co-composed by Evans and Miles Davis, and credited to Cleo
Henry, the name of Miles' mother.

Not strictly speaking a pseudonym. Pete was born Peter Ceragioli, and
used the "Cera" abbreviation before finally adopting the name Jolly.

Hey that's his real name! He adopted the name Abdullah Ibn Buhaina on
conversion to Islam.

"Charlie Parker was Charlie Chan on a Mingus record if i remember well on
1953.
