Happy would-be-92nd Birthday to legendary drummer Ben Riley (1933-2017). That’s the back of my head in the lower left-hand corner of the picture (before it was shaved😆) intensely studying and absorbing Ben’s masterful playing from the front table at Bradley’s. (Kenny Barron-piano, Ray Drummond-bass)
