A Great Day In Harlem - Harlem 58 - The Photograph - Part 2

A Great Day in Harlem or Harlem 1958 is a 1958 black and white group portrait of
57 jazz musicians photographed on a street in Harlem, New York City.
Art Kane, a freelance photographer working for Esquire magazine, took the picture
around 10 a.m. in the summer of 1958. The musicians had gathered on 126th Street,
between Fifth and Madison Avenues in Harlem.
Jean Bach, a radio producer of New York, recounted the story behind it in her 1994 documentary film, A Great Day in Harlem. The film was nominated in 1995 for an Academy Award for Documentary Feature.
