Details
Rocket 88, possibly a swing band, comprised of seven white men, are all wearing business suits with their instruments and mugging for the camera. The double bass player stands on the side of the bass that is lying on the floor as if he's surfing. The trombonist holds the trombone up from his shoulder. The singer spreads his arms wide, leans back his head and opens his mouth wide. The drummer holds one stick above his head and the other waist high. The organ player plays with his right hand and spreads his fingers wide as he lifts his left hand. The saxophonist kneels on the floor and grins as he lifts the sax to his mouth. The guitarist kneels and looks right at the neck of a guitar he is playing. Printed in the margin below the photograph, "Rocket 88. For Bookings & Information: P.O.
