EKE BBB Posted January 21, 2004 Author Report Posted January 21, 2004 Or is Django giving advice to him? Quote

EKE BBB Posted January 21, 2004 Author Report Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) Nice photos, John! The last one is a real gas! Duke Ellington and his Famous Orchestra as soon as 1930. Look at the childish face of Johnny Hodges and Sonny Greer! Edited January 21, 2004 by EKE BBB Quote

B) He´s playing Rosetta Tharpe´s guitar! EKE BBB Looks like it might be Eddie Condon's. Compare the dress of Harry Lim (the guy with the stripped tie), Duke's shirt and the wallpaper. Duke Ellington 1939 Left to right: Unknown; J.C.Higginbotham - trombone; Brad Gowans - valve trombone; Juan Tizol - trombone; Hot Lips Page - trumpet; Rex Stewart- trumpet; Max Kaminsky - trumpet; Unknown behind Max; Eddie Condon Guitar. From a series of pictures staged by Life Magazine. "Unknown" figure #3 behind trumpeter Max Kaminsky is the important record producer of the 1940s, Harry Lim, who was reportedly instrumental in getting a number of classic jazz stars into memorable recording sessions - just one of which was the historic Keynote Records session featuring Lester Young and Sid Catlett.

mmilovan Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) Duke, Cootie Williams, exhausted Paul Gonsalves (who is the musican next to him), all of them in concert in Belgrade, 1971. Also, there is B/W photo with Duke and Rabbit. Sorry for quality, these are scans from printed book - photos are 2/2 cm large here. Edited January 21, 2004 by mmilovan Quote
