Description

Ahmad Alaadeen is nearly out of the left side of the photograph in the foreground playing a soprano saxophone and wearing a fedora hat. A trumpet can be seen in front of Ahmad and just above Claude "Fiddler" Williams' head. Claude smiles as he is seated holding his fiddle, neck up, on his lap. He also wears a fedora hat. Gerald Dunn is standing beside Claude playing a saxophone. Bobby Watson stands next to and in front of Gerald playing an alto saxophone and wearing a fedora hat. Tyrone Clark stands sideways to the camera playing the double bass. Chris Clarke is seated at an electric piano. All are under a performance tent with open sides. A couple of audience members stand at the edges of the tent. The date, "9 15 '01," is imprinted by the camera on the bottom right-hand corner of the photograph.
