Check Out This Jazz Site

One big attraction at the interesting harlem.org is a wonderful photo by Art Kane. The tag line on the photo site reads "explore jazz history through one photograph." The 1958 group photo shows 57 jazz greats all in one photo (originally taken for Esquire). Some of the artists featured include Count Basie, Gerry Mulligan, Thelonious Monk, and Lester Young. In addition to the photo, there are links to articles about the 57 musicians, a list of instruments played by each musicians (organised by instrument), and a list that shows which musicians played what kind of jazz (from Dixieland to bebop to cool jazz). I've already spent a lot of time at this site, and I'll be browsing some more. Via Quotidian Hell.
