Jazz Club

“What started out as ‘sort of a graduation photo or class picture of all the jazz musicians,’ as Kane once put it, became perhaps the most emblematic and enduring image from the genre’s golden age. Only one of its subjects is still alive: the saxophonist Sonny Rollins, 94, who spoke in a phone interview about the image’s power at a time of pervasive segregation and racism.” A very cool, interactive look back at the shooting of a famous photo.
