Sahib Shihab (born Edmund Gregory; June 23, 1925, Savannah, Georgia – October 24, 1989, Nashville, Tennessee) was an American jazz and hard bop saxophonist (baritone, alto, and soprano) and flautist. He variously worked with Luther Henderson, Thelonious Monk, Fletcher Henderson, Tadd Dameron, and Dizzy Gillespie amongst others.
On August 12, 1958, Shihab was one of the musicians photographed by Art Kane in his famous photograph known as "A Great Day in Harlem". In 1959, he toured Europe with Quincy Jones after getting disillusioned with racial politics in the United States and ultimately settled in Scandinavia. He worked for Copenhagen Polytechnic and wrote scores for television, cinema and theatre.

It's 37 enjoyable minutes long, and I considered it to be jazz of the highest caliber.
Submissions on this thread are like resumes, they state your qualifications as an "aficionado". Some seem to have trouble with that word; since that's what I am, and consider this thread as one for those who are like minded, I can't think of a more appropriate title than "Jazz For Aficionados".
mmai, this particular submission rates an "A" from me.
