Charles "Pee Wee" Russell (1906-1969) |

Ernest "Red" Nichols (1905-1965) This must be one of the worst shots ever taken by a professional photographer. The bizarre lighting makes it look like the subject has a huge wad of chewing tobacco stuffed in his cheek! |

Jack Teagarden (1905-1964) |
||
 |
||
| The microphones shown in the Jack Teagarden photo are particularly interesting. Behind the RCA 44-B is a microphone housing made to look like the Trylon and Perisphere, the symbol of the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair. Only partly visible, the call letters are almost surely WOR, of the Mutual Radio Network. | ||

Irving "Miff" Mole (1898-1961) |

| Lionel Hampton (1908-2002) appears in a promotional photo for Slingerland drums, probably from the 1940's. He was best know as a vibrophonist, but also played drums. |
