Paul,
FWIW, he is also listed in the current 802 Directory as still in
Yonkers. I can supply this number to Martin if he wishes or make the
call myself, but I'm not completely sure what he is trying to establish.
Regards,

Maybe the interested parties could ask him (Siegelstein) themselves.
Whitepages.com lists a Sanford Siegelstein (age 65+) at the same address as
his 802 directory listing from 1973.

Martin,
Over the years, I have done a lot of digging in the area of horn players
who recorded with jazz groups and have a bit of of info on Collins and
Siegelstein's activities. According to the Tom Lord "Jazz Discography"
CD-ROM, Siegelstein worked with and appears on recordings (around 30 of
them) of Claude Thornhill from June 1946 through April 1948 and also in
February 1959. Other than that, the "Birth of the Cool" album is his only
mention in the discography. Junior Collins is on a couple of Miles Davis
sessions in September, 1948 (apparently in preparation for the Birth of
the Cool, since Gil Evans was involved) and on the Charlie Parker album
that used the Dave Lambert Singers as part of the backup band ("In the
cool of the night") on May 25, 1953. Just to confuse things a bit, the
horn player Addison Collins appeared with Glenn Miller, Mel Powell, Tex
Beneke, Benny Goodman and Claude Thornhill on countless dates from 1943
through 1949. I did some looking into him at one point, but I cannot
recall if I was able to determine if he was one and the same as Junior,
though the associations would seem to make this likely.
If you want more details, feel free to contact me off-list.
My best,
Peter Hirsch

Hello all,
This request may be better answered by some of the older list
members... I'm looking for some information on these horn players, who
were featured (along with Gunther Schuller) on the Miles Davis "Birth
of the Cool" sessions. Evidently, prior to his death, Gerry Mulligan
(bari sax/arranger) had been telling people that Jimmy Buffington had
been present as well, but his name is not listed anywhere in the
credits.
Anything that you might be able to dig up (e.g. where they played
before, after, since, taught, etc.) would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
martin bender
