Great Day In Harlem

Jacki talks to Jean Bach, producer of the documentary film, "A Great Day in Harlem," which tells the story of a famous photograph of 57 jazz musicians taken in front of a Harlem brownstone in 1958. A young novice photographer, Art Kane, put the word out that the jazz musicians in New York City should all show up at a certain corner one summer morning... and the gathering became a jazz family reunion as much as a photo shoot.
