Ricky Ford, who has said: "2008 was the 50th anniversary of the photo
A Great Day in Harlem that Art Kane had taken in 1958 of all those jazz musicians in Harlem. I thought it would be a good idea to do the same thing with the American jazz musicians that lived in France. It took a year to prepare. Musicians from all over France came.
