Stan Getz "The Sound"

This is titled 'Ballet Society, 1948' and was shot by Irving Penn.

From left to right are the painter (although in this instance probably employed as a designer) Corrado Cagli, composer Vittorio Bieti*, choreographer (understatement!) George Balanchine, and at the rear, the lovely and talented Tanaquil LeClercq. This is a precursor to the New York City Ballet. And it's also (in my opinion) a great photo.

Jeanne Moreau by Sam Levin.

Technically, this shot is flawed. But it's probably my all time favourite photo of any woman.

Oh, there were other people in that photo? Sorry, something distracted me.

Hi,
I cannot find any information on a composer called "Bieti". is it possible that it should read "Rieti"?

Yes, i believe you're right. And it's my fault for copy/paste the caption without double checking.
Well spotted and identified.

Great painting. I have seen a painting by this artist in one of the London galleries.
