Description

Here's a one-of-a-kind, signed William Morris Agency photo of Duke Ellington's greatest trombone section in action.  Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton, Juan Tizol, and Lawrence Brown have each signed the photo in fountain pen.  Duke signed with William Morris in 1937, and Nanton passed in 1946, so that's the timeframe. 
Hear Tricky Sam (amazing!) and Lawrence Brown with Duke here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxg4TVM_X9M
This photo is in excellent condition overall.  There is a two-inch, shallow crease in the upper left-hand corner that is almost invisible.  Any other perceived flaws are a consequence of glare and shadows in my auction scans.   
I'll ship this rare item only by priority mail.
