The group was called the Louis Armstrong Allstars and over the years featured exceptional musicians like Jack Teagarden, Sidney ‘Big Sid’ Catlett, and Earl Hines. The band went through a number of personnel changes over the years but remained extremely popular worldwide. Fantastic vintage glossy 10 x 8 photograph of sthe band onstage. According to the collector’s notation on the reverse, the photo was taken at Club Hangover in San Francisco. From left to right, Big Sid Catlett is on drums and has signed and inscribed “To my boy [?] Beautiful hair you have - Skin that is. Big Sid Catlett” in green ink; clarinettist Barney Bigard (who has not signed); Louis Armstrong on trumpet, signed in green ink; Earl “Fatha” Hines at the piano, who signs in blue ink; and Jack Teagarden on trombone, who signs and inscribes “To one of the greatest boys in the whole world, Jack Teagarden” in blue ink. In fine condition, with a couple of minor creases, mild corner bends, Hines’ and Teagarden’s signatures light but legible. R&R COA.
