Dizzy Gillespie (right) and Teddy Buckner. Jazz Festival Cannes 1958.

At the 1958 Cannes Jazz Festival, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie (right) leans in to light a cigar for a beaming Teddy Buckner. Buckner’s eyes are crinkled shut in a wide, open-mouthed laugh as Gillespie, wearing glasses and a light-colored jacket, concentrates on the task. Their hands clasp together around the lighter in a shared, jovial moment, a small puff of smoke rising from the cigar's tip.
