From another thread I learned of Marcus Belgrave whose nic is Fathead.
I just purchased a CD by another Fathead, David Newman, which by the way
contains a riveting interpretation of Donald Byrd's "Cristo Redentor".
How in the heck can more than one musician go by the logo, Fathead?
In fact, how many Fatheads are there?

Many. George "Fathead" Thomas comes to mind. Then are the multiple

There was a local rock band in Philly called Fathead. Last I checked they
were still together, but that was a while back.

David "Fathead" Newman earned the nic by blowing (literally) a sax exercise
as a teen. His music teacher was so upset he called him a "fathead" in
class and the name stuck. Puzzled by the nic ascribed to trumpeter Marcus
Belgrave. My concern is that both were in Ray Charles's R&B/jazz combo in
the late fifties and early sixties, and I wonder whether someone confused
Belgrave and Newman.
