Art Pepper - October 1, 1925

[Lois Gilbert]

today - Chris Albertson, Wynton Marsalis and also drummer Wilby Fletcher (played w. McCoy and Grover and Michel Petrucianni and a whole of other people.. He's probably about 48 or 49 today

[Allen H]

Their birthday twin Anita O'Day could beat up all three of them, though.

Art Pepper by all accounts was born September 1st, not October 1st.
