Milton fotograferte Sammy Davis Jr. i 1955 for hans første albumomslag. Da både Milton og Amy Greene møtte Sammy, ble de umiddelbart venner, et forhold som varte livet ut. Dette bildet av en upåklagelig kledd Sammy gjenspeiler hans ekte stil. Med én hånd opp og én ned, har Sammy et Mr. Bojangles-uttrykk.
The way Milton Greene captured Sammy mid-moment is pure magic—you can almost hear the tap shoes and the laugh. It's a 1955 album cover shot, but framed and printed, it feels like a living piece of jazz history. I've stared at it every day since it arrived.
Even though it’s a still photo, you can almost hear the music from how alive his pose feels. It’s a beautiful piece of history that captures that instant friendship between Greene and Davis. I’m glad I grabbed this to frame.
The way the camera catches his motion mid-dance makes the 1955 shoot feel alive, not staged. Print quality is sharp enough to see the texture in his suit, and the friendship between the photographer and Sammy comes through in every frame.
