Hailed by President Bill Clinton as 'The greatest jazz photographer in the history of the genre', Herman Leonard is best known for his intimate portraits of the jazz stars of the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Beginning his career as an apprentice to Yousuf Karsh, his passion for jazz led him to New York’s Greenwich Village where he set up a small studio, working freelance for various magazines and spending his evenings at the swinging clubs of Broadway and Harlem, photographing jazz musicians such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis for the price of admission, and developing friendships with some of the greats, gaining an unprecedented level of access to photograph the musicians at ease backstage. Quincy Jones said of his friend, 'Herman's camera tells the truth and makes it swing. Musicians loved to see him around.' Working with producer Norman Granz, many of his photos ended up on album covers. Despite losing over 8,000 prints in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, he continued to work up to his death in 2010.
