QUIZ = ANSWER!

 For all the people who responded to my quiz t’other day as to who’s on the drums (well it was TWO! - ED) well it’s for my REGULAR VISITORS Gman and SteVe so there!

the answer is


STANLEY KUBRICK!!

Once a fine stills photographer and later one of the worlds greatest ever Film Directors
quite what he was doing here with The George Lewis Ragtime Jazz Band of New Orleans in 1950 is anyone’s guess . . . . playing the  drums would be my best guess!?!

Photo by fellow LOOK Magazine staff photographer Janet Mevi. Stanley and Janet worked for Look magazine at this time and it seems they were down to do a profile piece on the Jazz musicians of New Orleans.
