Portraits - Body and Soul

Jazz guitarist Jim Shannon - his website - This image is part of a new project, portraits of jazz musicians, each playing the the same tune, Body and Soul, a standard written in 1930 by  Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, Frank Eyton and Johnny Green. Good references would be Coleman Hawkins improvised version recorded in 1939 and recordings by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn.
