He is one of the greatest jazz drummers of all time. Sideman of the biggest names in the history of jazz, from Thelonious Monk to Stan Getz, Chick Corea, John Coltrane. He also accompanied Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker ... I had the privilege of photographing him in April 2005 at Cabaret Vauban. This photo remains one of my best memories of concerts. A unique moment, the meeting with an elegant musician, polite and courteous. A hero, a legend.
