The story behind a photograph conceived by Esquire Magazine art director Art Kane. He gathered all the greats in the Jazz world for a group shot on a sultry summer day on 125th Street in Harlem, 1958. With a 'cast' that includes Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, and Art Blakely, this documentary provides a rare glimpse into the close-knit, warm world of the Jazz era, as well as some heartwarming and amusing footage of legends just being themselves.
The soundtrack includes many jazz standards: 'One O'Clock Jump', 'Open All Night', 'Carolina Shout', 'Nothin'', 'Echoes Of Spring', 'Blue Monk', 'Wild Man Blues', 'Twelfth Street Rag', 'Fine And Mellow', 'Some Of These Days', 'Stardust', 'Sweet Lorraine' and more.
