That makes two of us. I think you are correct on him sidemanning Bird, however. And I think he played with Chet Baker in Europe before his death. Memory may be wrong so don't quote me on that.

Wow. A gem of a set, sir. My father left me a bunch of 45 "albums" in box sets. I cherish these and am committed (some day - probably after retirement) to digitize them. Enjoy!
It's still around but it moved to the South Loop 10 or 12 years ago. The new location has a pretty decent setup.Is Jazz Showcase still around? I went once or twice back in the 70s and was not really impressed with the layout.

Dick Twardzik Trio: Complete Recordings
I've only heard him, I believe, in some jam sessions with Bird. Never knew there were any recordings by him.

Yeah, I believe I've heard him in live jam sessions out of Boston in the early 50's on Phil Schaap's "Bird Flight" show. I don't remember much about his playing, just his name. Gonna check out the recording bluemonkey shared.
See, most people think that cats and turntables don't mix because they see it spinning and want to attack it. That's true, but it's the lap time that's the real killer!San Diego jazz station again. Got a TT finally setup after 8 mo in storage. But Cliff prefers notto get up this evening.View attachment 1136370
I saw this and knew I had some of his stuff, but I came up empty when I searched the 'D' folder on the hard drive. A quick search of Twardzik showed that he was saved as Richard, not Dick.
I've got a Mosaic set called The Pacific Records Jazz Trios that has some of his tunes, plus some by Clare Fischer, Jimmy Rowles and Russ Freeman. I think I'll give it a spin today.
