Rufus Harley performing “Alfie’s Theme” on a highland bagpipe with Sonny Rollins on saxophone, Yoshiaki Masuo on guitar, Bob Cranshaw on bass and David Lee on drums live in Norway, 1974. | The Jazz Estate

Rufus Harley performing "Chim Chim Cher-ee" on bagpipes with Joe Whelan on organ and Johnny Crossan on drums live in 1965. Harley was the first jazz musician to adopt the bagpipe as his primary instrument. He bought a set of bagpipes for $120 from a pawn shop and tuned his drones—the pipes that produce harmonizing notes—to F and B-flat, a switch from the instrument’s more common tuning, so that he’d be able to play with other jazz musicians. | The Jazz Estate
