Noal Cohen and Ron Carter at a jam session held in the student union (Todd Union) of The University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, 1959. Pee Wee Ellis is the tenor saxophonist whose arm appears at the extreme right. Within a year, Carter had departed Rochester for New York to begin an illustrious recording, performing and teaching career which would eventually place him in the highest echelons of jazz bassists.
