The jazz photographs of Herman Leonard have elicited much praise: "I'm a huge admirer--the greatest jazz photographer in the history of the genre."--President Bill Clinton. "There have been many great jazz photographers but none more accomplished than Herman Leonard. In a celebrated career that began in the late 1940s, Mr. Leonard...is responsible for some of [the] defining images [of jazz]."--New York Times. "I used to tell cats that Herman Leonard did with his camera what we did with our instruments. Looking back across his career, I'm even more sure of the comparison: Herman's camera tells the truth, and makes it swing...After all these years, his work is still music to my eyes."--Quincy Jones.
