I'm an inveterate rock and roll fan, but there is nothing as preternaturally cool as classic jazz iconography, certainly nothing you're ever likely to see on MTV and its ilk. For a great example of what I mean, check out this opening sequence from the short film "Jammin' the Blues." That's Lester Young sporting the pork-pie and sax in the opening shot. And remember, this was made 65 years ago.
