HERMAN LEONARD Born in Allentown, PA in 1923, Herman chose to attend Ohio University in Athens, the only university at the time to offer a degree in Photography. Herman's jazz photographs, now collector's items, are a unique record of the jazz scene of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Leonard’s work is held in The Smithsonian’s collection, Jazz at Lincoln Center, NY, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA, and the George Eastman House, NY, as well as the private collections of Sir Elton John, Bruce Bernard and His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand.
