Thelma Schoonmaker.

An absolute genius at the Steenbeck. I love her work. And, what a life. You only have to watch Raging Bull to see the the absolute beauty and precision of her work.

Celebrate the Ray Brown Centennial 🎂💯
📷 Herman Leonard, 1948

"His notes are shapely -- fat and round and well-defined -- and his rhythm is so propelling that on up-tempo pieces his eighth-notes are always blowing wind into the music."
- Ben Ratliff
