On September 18, 1970, Paul Slaughter was at the Monterey Jazz Festival photographing the performers for Transworld Features when he captured the image you see here (click to enlarge). I love Paul's photo of Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington. In their expressions, you see all of the joy, confidence and playfulness of jazz and jazz-entertainment history. But rather than get ahead of the story, let...
