In this photo by Herman Leonard, the energy is palpable as Charlie “Bird” Parker and his sax become one. Photographing jazz greats in New York clubs in the 1940s for major national magazines, as well as movie stars, politicians and other celebrities, Leonard also worked in fashion and advertising in Paris. Leonard’s work is now part of the permanent collection at the Smithsonian.
