Claude "Fiddler" Williams and Buddy Tate head into the Monterey Jazz Festival

Buddy Tate, wearing a brown and white large checked sports jacket and holding his saxophone in a case, looks to his left at Claude "Fiddler" Williams and points the other way from the direction they are facing going to the Monterey California Jazz Festival. Claude, in the foreground of the photograph, slightly turns his head toward the camera and looks confused as a cigar hangs out of the left-hand side of his mouth. He's wearing a lapel badge of white print on a green background. A panel truck with the word, "Budget," on the side is behind the two.

Marshal Royal and Gus Johnson are glad to see each other

Marshal Royal and Gus Johnson stand outdoors next to each other in a crowded venue, in possibly Nice, France, both wearing casual summer clothing. They laugh as they look at the camera as if they are surprised to see each other. Each holds a pair of sunglasses in their hand. A tall structure is behind them.
