| From
the mid-50's well into the 60's, David X
Young held open-door jam sessions in his
painter's loft at 821 Sixth Avenue in the
flower district of Manhattan, where musicians
such as Zoot Sims, Thelonious Monk, Hall
Overton, Warne Marsh, Charles Mingus, Bill
Crow, Teddy Charles, Gerry Mulligan, David
Amram, Bob Brookmeyer, Jim Hall, Lee Konitz
and a host of others regularly played, rehearsed,
performed and socialized.
