| Oct 20, 2020 at 23:23 | comment | added | Cascabel_StandWithUkraine_ | I do not think there will be a definitive answer to this Q...it's prolly POB. | |
| Oct 20, 2020 at 19:39 | comment | added | Peter Shor | Let me add that in the 1950s, Pasadena had a definite reputation for being stodgy; in other words, one might have expected that Big Band music would be considerably more popular there than Miles Davis's cool jazz. | |
| Oct 20, 2020 at 18:23 | comment | added | sjmeverett | @PeterShor this was the sort of hunch I had actually, I had a google for jazz musicians called McKinley but couldn't find anything convincing. Yours is a compelling argument though, thanks. | |
| Oct 20, 2020 at 18:21 | comment | added | sjmeverett | @YosefBaskin ahhh, wasn't aware there was a president (I'm from the UK), this seems the most likely! So it's kind of like us describing something as "Victorian" I guess. | |
| Oct 19, 2020 at 22:42 | comment | added | Peter Shor | Adding onto my previous comment, Ray McKinley was a Big Band musician, a genre which was miles less avant-garde that Davis's. | |
| Oct 19, 2020 at 22:26 | comment | added | Peter Shor | The jazz musician Ray McKinley, maybe? I have no idea what his reputation was in 1956 —I just found him by Googling — so this suggestion may be completely wrong. | |
| Oct 19, 2020 at 22:24 | comment | added | Yosef Baskin | Pasadena looked dated to the speaker. It actually incorporated the year McKinley was elected President. | |
| Oct 19, 2020 at 22:23 | comment | added | Cascabel_StandWithUkraine_ | Perhaps Prez McKinley? | |
