At the Haig, yeah. They hired me six nights a week. Red Norvo was playing on the off nights, with Tal Farlow and Charles Mingus and Red, which was one of my favorite groups. I had just started Fantasy Records, so I talked the Weiss brothers into recording Red Norvo's trio, which I think is some of the greatest small combo recordings ever made. I talked them into recording Gerry Mulligan. Gerry Mulligan said I gave him his first steady job by moving him into the Blackhawk. Then Red Norvo came up there. But I still had to work. That's when I started investigating going on the road more.
