Stephen Longstreet's Jazz Illustrations

In the Eighties' I was living in Barcelona, where I picked up a Spanish Encyclopedia of Jazz published in 1963 (a translation of a German book published in 1957). It's a pretty comprehensive encyclopedia for its time but what is most striking about it are the wonderful illustrations by Stephen Longstreet. Here is a selection.
