I follow BFI on Twitter and part of the pleasure I get from it is them linking to onstage chats with visiting Hollywood legends who are always Surprisingly Still Alive. Borgnine was one (super-sharp too); George Kennedy another.

the better informed can put me right style-wise but does marshall allen (102) count as the oldest bebop man still busy touring?
or did he skip bebop & plunge straight into wild space style?
