This beautiful poster features top women jazz and big band musicians (and three men who championed them). It’s famed predecessor, the Art Kane photo Harlem 1958, was the inspiration behind this photo shoot.

Thanks for this! Truly an amazing project. I too am a “girl in the band” 🙂
So much love,

Great idea. Would love to see a brief bio on each of these talented musicians, to help raise awareness.
Thanks Marty,
We are working on a timeline which we will post as soon as it’s available.
Best Wishes, Judy
A great photo in the style of Art Kane, but as a photographer myself, it’s a big omission not to include the name of the photographer on your website. Please let me know and PLEASE add his or her name as a credit.
Regards
Phil Portus
Truely inspirational to all students of jazz.
What a tribute and masterful job of organizing. Noting with regret the absence of one contemporary keyboard giant, Lynne Arriale.
Where can I purchase a copy of this lovely photograph?
Cindy, In going through our mail I discovered this request. I don’t know if anyone ever answered you, but the photo can be found on our website. https://www.thegirlsintheband.com
Thanks, Judy
You can purchase a copy of the Harlem 2008 poster here: http://thegirlsintheband.bigcartel.com/
Yay, Marian McPartland. She was in the Art Kane original in 1958, and here we see her again, 50 years later. Gone now, but fondly remember. R.I.P.
Any plans for an 8×10 of the Harlem 2008 picture?
Hi Steve
The closest we come to an 8×10 of the Harlem poster is a 12×18 version of it. You can purchase it on our merchandise page, which is at http://thegirlsintheband.bigcartel.com/
A precious miracle!
In addition to the “timeline” you are working on, it would be great if you could make the online version of the photo have the facility to place the mouse arrow over the face of a musician and have their name displayed – just like the original Art Kane photo.
Informative
I just saw the movie on cable and it is one of the best historical movies I have ever seen. It’s truly amazing how talented women musicians, composers, arrangers are in jazz, but also so underrated! I want to get a copy of the photo of all the musicians in Harlem! I’d also like to do a feature of these women on my website.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is a marvelous addition to the American History that is the music that is called JAZZ! Wonderful!!
