This Herman Leonard print documents Duke Ellington in Paris in 1958 — a city where Ellington had been received as a giant since his first European tour, and where Leonard himself spent much of his career photographing American jazz musicians who found in Paris an audience and a freedom they couldn’t always find at home. Leonard’s jazz photography art was built on access, patience, and the understanding that the best jazz photograph is made between the notes, not during them. This Duke Ellington photo print is black and white jazz print work made by a photographer who was as much a part of the jazz world as the musicians he documented. This Herman Leonard print is vintage music photo of the highest order.

Ellington in Paris — the setting matters. Leonard understood that the city itself was part of the picture, and his images from the 1950s Paris jazz scene carry a specific atmosphere that American locations rarely gave him in the same way.
