Picture taken by William Claxton of Carl Perkins playing the piano. Clearly visible is his unique playing style with his left hand (as a consequence of his polio-affected left arm).
Really enjoying Picture of Heath 🥰For €25, this Tone Poet was a real bargain!

The pictures are from from the book Jazz Images by William Claxton.

William Claxton's "Photographic Memory" is a treasure trove of candid celebrity photos and notes. A friend sold it to me at a bargain price, and I highly recommend it to fans of Claxton's work including notable Gernreich photos!

Cover of Verve album Body And Soul by Billie Holiday. Portrait of Billie Holiday is in red colour. At least the earrings are the same as in the pictures by William Claxton. I also think it is the same white scarf. Credits for picture album cover goes to Howard Moorehead according to note on the album (should be Howard Morehead I think)
Enjoying Billie Holiday singing in the background.
Based on the pictures by William Claxton, I think the picture used for the album cover is taken during her performance at the ABC Television Studios. Hollywood 1957 as well.
