Miles Davis in New York in 1953, photographed by Herman Leonard. Leonard came to New York after apprenticing with the portraitist Yousuf Karsh, opened a studio in Greenwich Village in 1948, and spent his evenings in the jazz clubs, first the Royal Roost and then Birdland, photographing the musicians who were reshaping the music. Davis and Billie Holiday were among his subjects there.

When Hurricane Katrina flooded his New Orleans home in 2005 he lost some 8,000 prints, but his negatives survived in a museum vault. He died in Los Angeles in 2010.
