Check out picture number 15... That is legendary band leader Duke Ellington, with the conductor's baton.
EDIT: And, I can't be 100%, but that looks like Al Capone just behind him, to the right.

Re: Prohibition info from an unlikely source
It might be Capone- he sure looks like he was caught up in the moment, but was possibly trying to duck behind duke before the pic was snapped.
