Thanks Norm:

For those who want to be sure of the photo IDs, click the very bottom  
right corner of the slide show window where it says "Show Captions".

The photos are extraordinary. There is something about well done black  
and white photos that makes them high art. (IMO)

My favorite is Lester Young's porkpie hat.

Cheers
Steve Barbone
