A great day in Harlem...

Owen McNally has a review of the 2-DVD re-issue of the 1994 documentary about the most famous group photo in jazz history, but I cannot find it to link from the Hartford Courant website. In August of 1958, in front of a Harlem brownstone, Art Kane assembled 57 of the greatest jazz stars of all time and snapped a picture that would live forever. It was Kane's first assignment as a professional photographer and is considered the single most significant jazz portrait taken in the 20th century.
