Anecdote] Jackie Gleason and Ray Bloch (bandleader) were on the street on their way to lunch and ran into legendary bassist Milt (“The Judge”) Hinton. Gleason asked him how he was doing to which he replied that he had no job and was having a hard time even finding occasional casual gigs. Gleason invited him to come join his band. Bloch told Gleason that we already have a bassist, to which Gleason replied, “Now we have two.” (As related to me by Milt’s wife, Mona)
