Oh, yes, the man on the right? That's Richard Rodgers.

I respectfully disagree. Rodgers' hair was still pretty dark in 1948. Here's a picture from South pacific in 1949. I wonder if it is not W.C. Handy, which would be pretty remarkable as well. It is a Herman Leonard photo.pic.twitter.com/M0d03aNQ63

Just went to the Herman Leonard website. The figures on are identified as "DUKE ELLINGTON, ELLA FITZGERALD, BENNY GOODMAN, STAN HASSELGARD, JACK ROBBINS Downbeat, New York , 1948"

You are correct—but the original source of the error turns out to have been...Herman Leonard himself! Go here and scroll down to the comments, where all is explained:http://www.jazzwax.com/2009/10/photostoryxx-herman-leonard.html …

True. You are always well sourced. But right beneath Leonard's i.d., his manager corrects him. Thanks for bringing this photo to our attention.

Yes, and I saw both replies: that was the whole point of my tweet. Heretofore I had relied on the widely distributed credit that I now know to have originated with Leonard himself. Only today, checking out your tweet, did I discover this definitive answer to the question.

Micheal? You were wonderful on
@11thHour . I will forever remember you shaking your head over and over when Brian asked you of the spread from how Trump treated Queen Elizabeth, to Mueller's further indictments and his still wanting to meet with Putin. Classic. You are a gem. -
Michael. Spelling is key.
