When I got my job at Lynn University, one of the first things I did was mount a framed copy of “A Great Day in Harlem,” the iconic black-and-white photograph of 58 jazz musicians in Harlem, New York, taken by freelance photographer Art Kane, in my office. Only two of the musicians pictured were still alive; today, there is only one, Sonny Rollins, and he spoke to The New York Times about it. They created this interactive look at the photograph, and I loved it! Hope you do, too!
As always, thanks for reading, and stay safe.
Thanks to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal for allowing me to “gift” my readers with free access to these articles, a lovely perk for subscribers.
