Description

Claude "Fiddler" Williams, slightly bends his knees as he stands and looks down at the fiddle he is playing with his bow. He wears a fedora hat. Lisa Henry and Ida McBeth, jazz singers, sit on tall stools with their sides to the camera and both looking back at Claude as he performs in a tent with open sides. Stan Kessler is seen sitting behind Claude and playing his trumpet. Ahmad Alaadeen is mostly out of the right side of the photograph playing a soprano saxophone. The date, "9 15 '01," is imprinted by the camera on the bottom right-hand corner of the photograph.
