As this issue of @villagevoice shows, Mingus probably wasn’t performing at the Village Gate that night (a Sunday) Art Blakey was scheduled for Friday and Saturday. There’s no mention of Mingus dates at all. Maybe he did play there...7/9

However, there is this: same editon of the Villagevoice. Mingus playing on the 6th. Maybe Hutchinson had gotten the venue or date wrong? Maybe it was the @vanguardjazz @rjportsmouth42 8/9

Wishful thinking on my part perhaps. But that’s @DavidBowieReal for you: sending us down endless rabbit holes and bringing us constant joy. Maybe our friends @NicholasPegg @davidbowie_news @bowiesongs @reevesgabrels might know if David visited the Vanguard! you @vanguardjazz
