Jim Munford Posted December 27, 2017 Report Posted December 27, 2017 My name is Jim Munford and live in the Indiana side of Louisville, KY. I have a photo of my father from the late 1940's to the early 1950's taken in the Cotton Club in Cincinnati. He appears to be with several people who I don't know. The man sitting next to my father appears to be Duke Ellington. Is this correct and who are the rest? The photo is attached. My father is the man 2nd from the left. Quote
brownie Posted December 27, 2017 Report Posted December 27, 2017 I do not see Duke Ellington in this image... Hope nobody is disappointed! Quote

jazzbo Posted December 27, 2017 Report Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) That's not Duke. But man, those pants! In looks there's a bit of resemblance to Joe Carroll. But. . . I wouldn't be certain it's him. Joe Carroll later. . . . Edited December 27, 2017 by jazzbo Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted December 27, 2017 Report Posted December 27, 2017 A much larger-sized scan image would help. Quote
Jim Munford Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Posted December 27, 2017 I will see if it will take a larger size. Did this help? The site will not upload any bigger. Quote
