Photo, Print, Drawing [Portrait of Ray McKinley, Hotel Commodore, New York, N.Y., ca. Apr. 1946] Caption from Down Beat: Don't drop that bottle, old man. You're really not seeing double when you look at the cover photo of this issue of the Beat. That's just lensman Bill Gottlieb's idea of how drummer Ray McKinley looks in action with his new band at the Commodore hotel in New York. Always a flashy, but steady hideman, Ray rocked the Jimmy Dorsey band for years, formed a partnership ork with Will Bradley and then built his own band before going to Europe with the Glenn Miller AAF unit
