Eddie Lang, as usual, doesn't speak. His voice was so gravelly, Bing Crosby encouraged him to have a tonsillectomy, but sadly complications set in and Eddie died on the operating table.

Saw the Ed Cherry trio at Mezzrow in Manhattan last night. He was terrific, not surprisingly. Ed played with Dizzy Gillespie and his band for fifteen years or so. 🎶 🎧 🎸 #jazz #JazzMusic #JazzClubs #guitarists #JazzTrios #EdCherry #NYC #Mezzrow #JazzGuitarists #Smalls
