Lester Young outside the Five Spot Jazz Club, the Bowery, 1958.

The first jazz musician I ever photographed, Lester Young performing at The Five Spot Café, on the Bowery, 1958. Now here was a quiet soul, someone who let his music speak for him. I took this shot outside before the show, Lester being greeted by an unknown admirer or so I believe. I've never been able to identify this person. The famous pork pie hat at a slight—and cool—angle.

John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman : Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life"

Billy Strayhorn (1915 - 1967) was openly gay with Ellington and other musicians but was in the closet with the public. He composed Lush Life when he was only 19 years old. The lyrics came years later in 1949. Musically, it's like an Art Song meets a Jazz Ballad.

my self declared favourite genres as an 11 year old were dubstep, jazz and reggae. one time on the bus two older boys asked me what i was listening to and i smirked and said jazz and then they teased me as the little jazz kid for the next like 2 years

#dubstep: i was an 11 year old gamer #jazz: i had been learning saxophone for a couple years and my auntie is a saxophonist #reggae: i love to appreciate the cultures of the world and sometimes i heard reggae in dubstep
