I always said that if I ever could have been born during a time period of my choice, it would have been that era because besides the height of racism during that period, I thought the era was very cool...most nobly because of the music.
I'm working for a film where I have to watch hours of archival footage from that era and it's GREAT.  The music, the big bands, the dancing (lindy hop?), the tap dancing , the clothes!!! And then there were the poets...  Langston Hughes is my fav!!!  I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

...A Great Day In Harlem (photographed by Art Kane in 1958) Harlem 1958 You're looking at the single most significant jazz portrait taken in the 20th century. No one believed anyone could gather this many talents and temperments so very early on a summer morning but it all happened like magic, and the world was immediately smitten when this picture was published in Esquire magazine January 1959. This was Art Kane's first assignment as a professional photographer. The obsession continues unabated with homages ranging from photographer Gordon Parks' regrouping of the last surviving original musicians for Life magazine to his re-creation once again on the same 126th St. steps of today's hip hop stars for XXL magazine. No other picture has become so deeply embedded in the hearts and minds of music lovers worldwide. http://www.artkane.com/fu...arlem.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= For an interactive "Who's Who?" of the photograph, or to buy a poster - www.harlem.org tA  Tribal Disorder
