I love black and white photos of jazz musicians. They just remind me of a bygone era of cool. I like this one the best. I'm not a smoker*, but the cigarette smoke just makes this picture. The photo is used for the cover of his Ballads compilation, which I highly recommend checking out.
*Although I am a fierce advocate for the rights of private property owners, but I'll save my rant against the Nanny State smoking bans for another day.

I've never seen that shot before, and I agree with you that it is absolutely fantastic! I'm a big fan of b&w photography, and if Hello! wasn't such a pain in the tookie, I'd post more myself.
i agree that b/w pictures are truly mystical and those of musicians can sometimes be brilliant. some of my favourite one would be those of a young Chet Baker, such as this one : http://www.keithdelellisgallery.com/Exhibitions/face%20to%20face/pages/22%20Chet%20Baker.htm

HEy, I know you KPMD! Have you visited our other blog?
Kandace! I was going through my Site Meter stats and I was wondering who the hell'd spend 147 minutes and 31 seconds on my blog...especially on a Saturday night. Figures! Your lesser half is over in England, so you get a pass. Welcome aboard, partner. Glad to see Sim life is treating you well. I'm almost dead (in my Sim life, that is), but I can still make the ol' woo-hoo with my wife. Real life is much less amorous.
Maybe it was the Fijian Bitter Beer? Oh wait, that's me. Beer made from the fine waters of the Fiji islands...yum.
