Man this is a bummer, he took some of the most iconic shots ever, I have 3 books of his stuff.

PS

Its strange Teddy, I have noticed in a lot of threads that you and I just do not see eye to eye on a lot of gear, but I completely resonate with most of your taste in music.

Herman Leonard. The man who shot almost every single classic "Jazz Photo" in the book. Rest in peace.
