Trumpeter Wilmer Wise comments today on yesterday's post “NYTimes.com:'AfricanAmerican History Month: JOSEPHINE BAKER – Black Diva in a WhiteMan's World”:

“I played in the orchestra which accompanied Josephine Baker at Carnegie Hall and the Loews Victoria on 125th Street in 1972......I think. A recording of that show was made and I don't think it was ever released. It was an unforgettable experience!”  Wilmer Wise
