A Great Day in Harlem
Around ten one morning in the summer of 1958, 57 musicians representing three generations of jazz history showed up at 126th Street, between Fifth and Madison Avenues in Harlem to be photographed taken by Art Kane, a freelance photographer working for Esquire magazine. The photo was eventually published in the January, 1959 issue. This photo also became the basis of a documentary film produced by veteran radio producer, Jean Bach of New York. The film was nominated for an Academy Award last year. Here is our tribute to the picture--we hope you enjoy! Many thanks to those from whom we borrowed.
