What Barry says
Barry and Elvin Jones had a trio in Detroit after Elvin left the Army. Asked who played bass, Barry struggles to remember. Ali Jackson’s name comes up, but Barry says it was not him; it might have been one of the Jacksons (captions: ‘Elvin Jackson’, probably Alvin) or Will Austin. A lot of musicians could play, he adds.
