Ben Webster (1909 - 1973) leads in this recording of Cotton Tail from circa 1968. From the "Storyville Masters of Jazz" series (image of CD cover appears at the end of this video).
The two opening photos are of Ellington (who published Cottontail in 1940); the rest of the images depict Webster at various points during the course of his jazz career.
