Pipe smoking and Jazz - right on man. One of my favorite pairings is putting on Miles Davis' album Kind of Blue and lighting a bowl. Here is bassist and composer Charles Mingus
Also worth mentioning, were the 4 pipemen who were a part of the 1922 British Mount Everest expedition. On the back row from left to right with pipes clenched, were Wakefield, Somervell, and Morris, and on the front row, Strutt. In my mind, when a pipeman is dedicated enough to take his pipe and tamper on the climb to Mount Everest, he is a pipeman's pipeman!
Just a comment on Einstein, when he came here to America if anyone offered him a cigarette he would accept it, field strip it and put the tobacco in his pipe.
Trumpeter Clark Terry. We lost him in 2015. A jazz pioneer, he played with Count Basie, then Ellington, Quincy Jones, and Oscar Peterson. Not a bad resume.

Alexander Burgener, also an early mountaineer during the silver age of alpinism, was also a pipeman......
