Fiendishly obscure question: Who was Al Hirt's bass player (1961/62)?

Just saw the movie Rome Adventure (1962) on TCM. Pee Wee Spitelera (clarinet) and Jack Delaney (trombone) are pretty easy to pick out, and I’m 80% sure that’s Ronnie Dupont on the piano. Can’t id the bass player though. Could possibly just be some actor, and not a real musician, but since the other three definitely played with Hirt, I’m under the assumption that the bass player did, too. Oliver Felix had played with Hirt as late as 1960, and possibly into 1961, but it’s not Felix. No clip at this time, but I’ll try to fudge something if this draws a blank.

Hirt’s scene is about 40 minutes in. Happy Hunting!

Bob Moore?

Hmmm. . . Shows some promise. I’ll have to look at it again tomorrow.

Link. You can see him off and on best at around 0:30 to 0:50, and again at about 1:30.

I would assume it’s Bob Moore. The clip is Al Di La, and that was on his 1962 album Honey In The Horn.
