© Robert Lebeck, 1956, Dizzy Gillespie at the hotel Hessischer Hof, Frankfurt
“I did not find it difficult to approach the stars with my camera. I even  walked a whole night through Frankfurt with Dizzie Gillespie, showing  him the city and its clubs, while the great trumpeter did not grow weary  of unpacking his instrument and playing a few pieces. It was not before  the early morning that he threw himself onto the hotel bed before my  eyes and fell asleep while still sitting. I carefully placed his horn  onto the cover, and then I took my shot.” (Robert Lebeck, comment from his Official Website)

What really stood out in the genre was women of color acting like heroes rather than depicting nannies or maids. We were redefining heroes as schoolteachers, nurses, mothers, and street-smart women who were proud of who they were. They were far more aggressive and progressive than the Hollywood stereotypes.”
