This photo of many Seattle musicians is hanging inside room 1A at #seattledrumschool Georgetown.
We asked SDSM Instructor Amy Denio for the story:

One early Sunday morning

http://www.agreatdayinseattle.com/
“On May 6th, 2007 nearly 300 local jazz musicians met on the steps of Seattle City Hall for a photograph in the spirit of Art Kane’s 1958 “A Great Day in Harlem.”

Pulitzer-Prize winning photographer Daniel Sheehan captured the event as the musicians who cross jazz music’s many generational and stylistic boundaries were photographed together for the first time in Seattle’s legendary jazz music history.

A very limited number of signed prints (by all involved in the photo) can be purchased through special arrangement. All proceeds of sales will be donated to The MusicCares Foundation, which provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. The MusicCares Foundation is an affiliated charitable entity of The Recording Academy.”
