Portraits of Sid Catlett, New York, N.Y., ca. Mar. 1947. These shots of exuberant Sidney Catlett were taken during one of Louis Armstrong's last rehearsals before his Carnegie Hall concert. Can't report on Louis' recital since the Great One had not; at this writing, appeared. By the way, has it ever occurred to you, too, that Big Sid, whether at or away from his drums, gives an unsurpassed impression of tremendous physical power? Photographer - William P. Gottlieb
