Jazz Day

Average rating3.7
When Esquire magazine planned an issue to salute the American jazz scene in 1958, graphic designer Art Kane pitched a crazy idea: how about gathering a group of beloved jazz musicians and photographing them? He didn t own a good camera, didn t know if any musicians would show up, and insisted on setting up the shoot in front of a Harlem brownstone.

Loved the poems linking to individual musicians in the photograph and also from the watching childrens's POVs. Graphically beautiful, and the choice to have the reveal of the actual photo as a double-paged pullout was inspired. The bios at the end along with all the supplementary material make it a great learning opportunity for older elementary or even middle school.
