Great Day in Harlem


Thanks for sharing the "Great Day in Harlem" article at AAJ.
There is one minor omission. Ernie Wilkins was also in the original "Great Day in Harlem" photo, but he did not make the later reunion shot for the follow up photo in the 1990s. I remember reading that he had a stroke and was still living in Europe. He died on June 5, 1999.
