Re: [ARSCLIST] "Big Jeb Dooley" -- who was this masked trumpeter

That's interesting because Command "loaned" guys to U-A in that time period for U-A's competing 
stereo spectacular records. Maybe a quid pro quo. Also, jazz guys were not unknown to work under 
psuedonyms (sp?). Nat Adderley is identified as "Little Brother" on King Curtis's jazz album "The 
New Scene of King Curtis," for instance. I believe at that time Nat was under contract to Capitol or 
Mercury and King Curtis recorded on Prestige.
