Join us for this special Jazz in the City concert in the historic Capitol Theatre on First Friday, January 2, where Kirk Reese (piano), Hassan Shakur (bass) and Jeff Stabley (drums) will perform music from artists or songs featured in the 1994 documentary ? ????? ??? ?? ??????, followed by a screening of the Oscar-nominated film.
? ????? ??? ?? ?????? was directed by Jean Bach (1918-2013), a press agent, radio producer, jazz aficionado and fixture of New York’s jazz scene. Through interviews and archival material, the film tells the story of Art Kane’s photograph of the same name taken for Esquire magazine in Harlem on August 12, 1958. Assembled on 17 East 126th Street, between Fifth and Madison Avenues, the photograph is famous for capturing 57 of the era’s jazz greats in one photo. It is a feat that has not been replicated since as a snapshot of its time and during the heyday of the music.
Tickets are just $15 in advance, $20 day of show (Reserved seating)
Generously sponsored by OSS Health.
