I was commissioned by Blue Note to photograph the legendary drummer Louis Hayes for the cover of his new album ‘Serenade for Horace’ a tribute to Horace Sliver. Louis was born in Detroit in 1937, he came to New York when he was eighteen and joined the Horace Silver Quartet. He has recorded with everyone John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Wes Montgomery, and so many more. He just celebrated his 80th birthday at Dizzy’s playing better than ever.
