Leading figure of the swing era in jazz and, alongside Duke Ellington, an outstanding representative of big band style. Splendid candid vintage 4 x 6.75 full-length photo of the very young Count wearing a dark suit, light-colored overcoat and light-colored hat and smiling broadly for the camera, signed in fountain pen. The photo is triple-matted and framed to an overall size of 11.75 x 14. In fine condition, with a few minor surface impressions, a couple of faint creases, a bit of feathering to a couple of letters of the signature. R&R COA.
