"Bebop was about change, about evolution. It wasn't about standing still & being safe."
- Miles Davis 

126th Street in Harlem on an August morning in 1958, the historic crowd of Jazz musicians gathered around a brownstone between Madison & Fifth avenues for what photographer Art Kane rightly, if immodestly, calls "the greatest picture of that era of musicians ever taken" (incredibly, it was also Kane's first professional shoot.) Collectively they spanned the history of Jazz. The 57 artists stood at 10 a.m. (an absurd hour for musicians) to have their picture taken for a Jazz issue of Esquire magazine, which has come to be known as A Great Day in Harlem.
