it's not a dj!

Continuing with talk about jam sessions, magazines and jazz in the 40s... Dust4Eyes asked me if I'd seen the pic of the 'DJ' in the GJon Mili Life series. I hadn't. I've just been looking at them again, and came across this one:
This isn't actually a DJ, but someone recording the session. For a V-disc, I assume.
Neat, huh?
(NB Esquire also recorded their broadcast 'all stars' performances for V-discs)
More of my posts about this stuff:
pop culture, jazz and ethnicity.
jam session photography
magazines, jazz, masculinity, mess

So he's actually making samples of the music so he can cut it up and put some fat beats underneath it. So not only is he a dj, but he's a hip hop dj.

So it IS a DJ!
Two turn tables and a microphone and all.
But well before the MC eclipsed the DJ as key figure in the New York hippity hop scene.
