Yes. He does the 60s whiteboy look really well (sadly he fell victim to the times in the late 70s and started wearing the wide-collared, load-print shirts). Pretty hard look to pull off today. I don't have inspo but would welcome it.

Not to mention, he's probably one of the top 5 musicians, like, ever. His music has such a unique sound, the mixture of jazz and classical is just right. His stuff is serene enough that you can let it take you away, yet complex enough to please even the most technique-minded listener.

Fun fact: it is believed that he wrote the infamous "Blue in Green" as well as "Flamenco Sketches" off of Miles Davis' seminal "Kind of Blue" album.

Here's a little selection of my favorite tunes of his and a few pics I had on my computer:

(not OP) thanks for all this, anon!

I wish there were more modern clothes that somewhat imitate the simplicity, professionalism yet coolness that suits had.

Wearing them nowadays just doesn't feel the same, at all.

on second inspection, I don't think that's Bill.

It's only in the process of passionate lovemaking with your instrument. Otherwise, it just doesn't fit

As a double bassist I can confirm it is more comfortable to roll up one's sleeves when playing.
