Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Weekend Extra: The Bakers Table Crescent Moon Bugle

Months ago, the picture below showed up as an email attachment.

Here is what I don’t know:

Where the photo came from.

The location of Bakers Table Restaurant; a Google search discloses that there are several in the world.

The maker and history of that wonderful bugle.

What music might be a suitable companion. How about “Moon Dreams?”

Gerry Mulligan, baritone saxophone; Art Farmer, flumpet; Lee Konitz, alto saxophone; Rob McConnell, valve trombone; Mike Mossman, trumpet; Ken Soderblum, saxophone and clarinet; Bob Routch, French horn; Ted Rosenthal, piano; Dean Johnson, bass; Ron Vincent, drums. Video from the Vienne Jazz Festival, year unknown.

If you have information about that Bakers Table sign, please send it in a comment.
