Illinois Jacquet and Claude "Fiddler" Williams get reacquainted

Description

Illinois Jacquet and Claude "Fiddler" Williams laugh as they shake hands and turn to face the camera on stage, most likely at the Kansas City Blues & Jazz Fest rehearsal. Claude wears a ball cap from Washington D.C. and is casually dressed. Jacquet is dressed ready for his performance. Other band members can be seen seated on stage behind the two. The drum set has the words, "Kansas City Drum Works" printed on it.
