I remember that.He was a monk in those commercials.Tiny Kahn died of a heart attack in 1953;I have some pictures of him in a British book on jazz history with Georgie Auld's band(you can see Serge Chaloff in the photo).As for Manny Fox,I know of him only for for those Georgie Auld recordings I originally bought in the early '80s on a HEP LP.

 Jack Eagle became a comic who you
 might remember from the Xerox commercials where he played
 Brother Domenick who looked towards the heavens and said
 "Thank God for Xerox". I played bass for him many times and
 he was a nice guy and still played the trumpet adequately.
 His son is the sportscaster Ian Eagle.
