This photo was taken in Paris by french photographer Jean-Claude Bernath during the 1956 tour of Europe.

It is signed by Kid Ory, Alvin Alcorn and Wellman Braud.

It was intended for inclusion in the book "Mes années Jazz 1955-1960"

"My Jazzing Years 1955-1960", published in 2000 by Trace(s) Editions, but the final choice settled on a slightly different version.

The book is now out of print.


Here is a press cutting from The Afro-American about the launch of the 1956 tour, and the cocktail party at the American Embassy.
