RIP Peggy Moffitt


Recommended Posts

I guess I knew the photo at top but was stunned to learn that William Claxton, jazz photographer extraordinaire, was both the photographer and her husband until his death.

When they met she knew who he was too - she was a jazzer.

She is also on the cover of two Lou Donaldson Blue Note albums: Mr. Shing-A-Ling and Alligator Bogaloo.

Wow did not realize that either. I guess Claxton didn't take the photos since they don't have any billowing cigarette smoke around her head.
