Product Description
In August of 1958, in front of a Harlem brownstone, first-time photographer Art Kane assembled 57 of the greatest jazz stars of all time and snapped a picture that would live forever. Narrated by Quincy Jones, this "irresistible" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times), Academy Award-nominated documentary examines the fascinating lives of the musicians who showed up that day to make history. Through remarkable interviews with nearly 30 jazz greats (including Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins and Art Blakey), home movies shot by Milt and Mona Hinton, and rare, archival performance footage, A Great Day in Harlem tells the story behind a legendary photograph that is still alive and kicking - and jammin'!

managed to speak with nearly 30 of the original fifty seven and captured their comments for posterity. Five stars may not be enough for this tremendous contribution to jazz history! Note: I'm not sure why Dizzy Gillespie's name appears below the title in your description and photo above. Dizzy was interviewed as were many others but the film is by Jean Bach!
I saw the film at the Everyman Theatre in Hampstead London when it was first released - a great memento.
There is an additional disc with music from those artistes on the photograph.

Beaucoup ont plié leur ombrelle mais le soleil qu'ils ont fait vivre est toujours là à nous baigner de son bienfait.
Une larme de reconnaissance à leur souvenir.
