Of his friend Leonard, Quincy Jones said, "I used to tell cats that Herman Leonard did with his camera what we did with our instruments. Looking back across his career, I'm even more certain of the comparison: Herman's camera tells the truth and makes it swing. Musicians loved to see him around. No surprise; he made us look good."
