Herman Leonard and Beyond

Musician in Orange, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Let's call today Herman Leonard Day. This jazz photography giant photographed the best--from Louie Armstrong to Billie Holiday.

Hundreds of his photographs can be found here.

Tip: If you see someone playing music--a group, or an soloist--get in there up close to catch facial expression details or anything from the musician tuning up to being prepared to wipe the sweat off of his face.
