The Cast: personal information
This is an overview of the personal information of the cast. It was posted by Peter Hewlett to the On The Jazz newsletter issue 22.
Peter thinks it is out of a magazine from 10 years ago. So the facts might be (and probably are) outdated.
If you have updated information or you have something to add to this list please send it to me.
