Just out of interest: why is the album named Manhattan Plaza? Is there a connection to the Manhattan Plaza building? The cover photo doesn't seem connected, but I could be wrong. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:41, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's after that building. Ford lived there, as did/do lots of jazz musicians. I don't really know the building, but the cover photo looks a bit like other photos I've seen – is it not the same building? There's more about (jazz) musicians and the building here.

Thank you for your reply. I happened to live for 8 months just opposite that building on 43rd Street, and I'm fascinated by its history. The building on the album cover is quite obscured by the foliage, and I can't see any balconies, but given the JazzTimes article you linked to, it probably is. I think the building should be mentioned in this article; I will certainly incorporate the information from JazzTime into the building article.

No problem. I've added a sentence to this article, linking to the one on the building. EddieHugh (talk) 15:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
