Here's my tribute to Les Paul who died last week at the age of 94. This photo was taken at the Iridium Jazz Club in midtown Manhattan in June, 2007. I only met him briefly while he posed for my photos, but what a warm, engaging man he was. We've lost a true genius, the inventor of the electric guitar, multi-track recording, tape looping, and other innovations. I think he was an underrated guitar player as well. RIP Les Paul.
