In 1958, photographer Art Kane took a career-defining image. Known as โ€œA Great Day in Harlem,โ€ the group photo โ€” perhaps the most iconic in jazz history โ€” captured 58 legendary musicians, from early pioneers like Count Basie to modern stars like Charles Mingus and Thelonius Monk, all posed on a stoop on New York Cityโ€™s East 126th Street. Near the top of the stairs stands another giant: trumpeter Buck Clayton, famous for his work with Count Basieโ€™s band. But Chinese audiences may know him better
