It isn't easy to see, but Kamman is holding a 45 rpm record in his right hand, possibly one of Barlow's solo releases on the Jay-Dee label (circa 1954-55).R&B Beat Column - January 1954:
The little bandmaster of station WOV, Leigh Kamman, has been gracing the airwaves of cities such as Minneapolis, Duluth and Denver for the past 13 years. Known for his "We Call It Jazz" concerts staged in the Twin Cities, Leigh is heard these nights on the "1280 Club" broadcast from Harlem's Palm Cafe, where his satin smooth voice is paired with that of his talented sidekick, Evelyn Robinson.
