RIP Herman Leonard

I just got sad news that Herman Leonard, the Greatest Jazz Photographer who ever lived, has passed away. Even if you don’t know the name, you know the photographs. Herman captured iconic photographs of the Legends of Jazz better than anyone. I know all his friends up above are playing a great jam session for him tonight. Check out tonight’s ABC World News Tonight for a tribute to a legend I can proudly call my friend…
