#2087 - Art Kane

It’s 10am on a Monday morning . The call was for everyone to turn up at 17 E 126th Street between 5th and Madison outside a brownstone on a stoop. Would everyone show?
Hey Jazz Musicians are not used to getting up early.
Well 57 legendary musicians showed up including Count Basie ,Dizzy Gillespie , Thelonius Monk , Charles Mingus and many others.

History was made. One of the greatest jazz photos ever .One might almost make a claim that it is also one of the greatest New York photos ever.
Enjoy!
