Portrait of Slam Stewart, Three Deuces, New York NY ca. Sept. 1946 (photo by William Gottlieb) Original caption from Down Beat Magazine: It can’t be done, but here is Slam looking sweet and sinister at the same time. This innocent devil has been riding the strings at the Three Deuces on The Street. His tie, you’ll note, was made especially for photogs. It’s the ideal design for focusing.
