T.O.P. Ten: Number 6

The Online Photographer – Another post in the T.O.P. Top 10 Photos series, this one about the famous photo of jazz greats made in Harlem in 1958 by photographer Art Kane.

Just remarkable. It’s as if all the German and Austrian classical composers had gathered for a group portrait that included Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, or if somehow we could have a group portrait of all the major Italian Renaissance artists gathered together, old Leonardo next to young Raphael, or all the impressionists. Or all of the Athenian philosophers. All would be as august as this group, but none more so.
