Stan Getz - Looks cool even though his bowtie is a clip on.
John Coltrane - Anyone that can smoke and play like that gets my approval.
Bud Shank on Bari - Here with Chet Baker

Growing up with a father who’s a Jazz musician, I was raised for the most part on jazz and blues. As far as musicians go, the blues and jazz guys had the best style. These guys were always dressed flawlessly.
