I'd go to the 6:00 A.M. jam and also the evening sets...I subsequently wrote a tune for Groove Holmes and JACK'S OF SUTTER STREET on my cd KARENJI: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ahouser6 I also played at JIMBO's BOP City with Federico Cervantes (a blind piano & trumpet player).  We played from 3:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. -- the gig paid $3.00. Also played with Little Willie John (of "FEVER" fame befoe Peggy Lee)  He didn't write "Grits ain't Groceries." The tail end of swinging music in the black community.
