Jazz Portrait - Harlem, New York, 1958

Everyone is a valedictorian in “Jazz Portrait – Harlem, New York, 1958” by Art Kane, the iconic, class reunion-style photo of 58 of the greatest jazz musicians. “Jazz Portrait,” taken on 126th Street, was his first freelance assignment and soon Kane (1925 – 1995), became famous for his fashion photography as well as the pictures he took of some of the most famous celebrities of his day. Despite his later success, “Jazz Portrait” is one of his most remembered images and was ultimately made in to a documentary, called “A Great Day in Harlem.”

This high-quality art print is expertly produced to capture the vivid color and exceptional detail of the original.
