Thirty-one photographs show Young and bandmates Gerald Brashear Jimmie Rodgers and Traff Hubert one photograph shows Young Rodgers and Hubert backstage and three photographs show Vaughan likely backstage at the Birdland Jazz Club where the quartet opened for Vaughan in 1951. "The swingin'est Bop I've ever heard" is how Nat King Cole described the Cecil Young Quartet who exploded onto the Seattle jazz scene in 1950. Young formed the quartet in 1950 alongside tenor saxophonist and bongo player Gerald Brashear drummer Jimmie Rodgers and bassist Traff Hubert. Recordings of the quartet's 1951 gigs at the Metropolitan Theatre and the Ladies Music Club got the attention of King Records' Sid Nathan who quickly signed the act and released their 1951 debut album "A Concert of Cool Jazz." The album did well throughout the Seattle area garnering attention throughout the west coast with San Francisco jazz critic Ralph Gleason declaring Brashear's solo on "Who Parked the Car" the best scat solo ever recorded. 3.5 x 3.5 inches. Near Fine. N.p. unknown
