A Great Day in Harlem - an interactive version

Ever since I came across this photo in a bar somewhere, I've been fascinated by "A Great Day in Harlem", both in terms of the story behind it as well as the composition of the photo itself. I wanted to find out who each person on the photo is, which was what prompted me to create this interactive version. Read this fascinating account by Marian McPartland, one of the musicians in the photo.
