Bill Kirchner’s choice of Mary Ann McCall (1919-1994) as the artist to feature on his return to Jazz From 
The Archives (see the post below), led the Rifftides staff to search for videos of her performing. A fuzzy kinescope from 1962 may be the only one in existence. It comes from Frank Evans’ Frankly Jazz program on KTLA, the pioneering independent television station in Los Angeles. McCall shared a broadcast with The Jazz Crusaders. What survives is “After You’ve Gone†with the Crusaders rhythm section: Joe Sample, piano; Victor Gaskin, bass; and Stix Hooper, drums. It is a short, perfect example of McCall’s intonation, phrasing and impeccable time. After a brief interview, the excerpt ends with the Crusaders playing a blues over credits. The tenor saxophonist is Wilton Felder, the trombonist Wayne Henderson.
Have a good weekend.
