I went to the Photography exhibition, In the best Possible Light, by Mr. Herman Leonard at Jazz at Lincoln Center and had so much fun! Make sure you make your way over there before February 14, 2010.  You feel like you are in that time era- the 40’s to the early 90’s. This exhibition makes you want to own a  Jazz cd and listen till your heart is content- even though the Jazz scene has changed a great bit. Leonard’s subjects no doubt are the birth and the cool of jazz, the making of America. No wonder the Smithsonian holds about 70 of his photos. This post “Hats or Hatnots # 2”  is title such because that is Monk without his hat. Almost every picture that has been taken of him, is of him wearing a hat. Finally a picture of him without a hat!
