I always liked his style. I played with the 'Young Americans' (36 singers) on his '64 Christmas special as a senior in high school & previously on another of his shows. That much I remember and I also recall him showing up to a rehearsal with a small entourage. I played my long neck Gariepy for one show, one of those or the Hollywood Palace w/ Sachmo & band, forgot which. I smiled and got a 5 second close-up shot. Big deal for me at the time; these days, well...
