This 1949 flood-damaged photo released by Herman Leonard Photography, shows Miles Davis at Birdland in New York. The photo was one of 8,000 prints that were destroyed in Leonard’s New Orleans home when a levee just a few blocks from him home burst open in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. ‘Water seeped in and stopped around the center of the picture where the face was, and mold started to form. The result is beautiful,’ Leonard says, joking, ‘It’s mother nature and Herman Leonard.’

This 1991 photo released by Herman Leonard Photography shows jazz great Miles Davis in Montreux, Switzerland where Davis would perform his last concert, six weeks before he died. The photographer Herman Leonard followed Davis over four decades, from his beginnings as a trumpeter in the late 1940’s. “I could see in his face —— he knew he was dying,” Leonard recalled of this photo.
