Herbie in Shadows
"As leader of Miles Davis's rhythm section in the late 1960s, Herbie really personified the image of a most refined, reserved musician. By the 1970s, all that changed. His strict acoustic piano style would give way to a more vigorous period emphasizing electronics backed by a propulsive team of percussionists. So, looking back on this shot, it's like a totally different character, with different sound, a different look. The transformations musicians make are always a treat to capture."
