Billie & Lester

Jazz where you least expect it..this is Tokyo

Harajuku is the youth fashion center of Tokyo, not exactly the jazziest area in town..yet I forgot that on the side of the Volontaire cafe/bar were these fantastic portraits of Billie Holliday and Lester Young.

Update: Volontaire closed the original shop and moved to Akasaka a couple of years ago.
