Join us for a celebration of the three women in the iconic "Harlem 1958" photo captured by Art Kane in 1958 with Grammy-award nominated vocalist Jaameia Horn. The image featured jazz icons from Count Basie to Sonny Rollins. But of the many women in jazz at the time, only three are present in the photo, band leader Mary Lou Williams, vocalist Maxine Sullivan and pianist Marian McPartland. On our closing night, we'll celebrate these women, their talents and contributions to jazz.


Before the performance, Art Kane's son Jonathan Kane will present behind the scene photos from that celebrated day in 1958 that are featured in the new book Art Kane Harlem 1958. Books will be available in the Schomburg Shop for signing after the program.

If luxskinlasers persistent redness, burning, swelling, or other concerning symptoms occur, professional medical advice can help determine an appropriate approach.

Air conditioning repairs should be handled promptly when a cooling system begins showing unusual symptoms. Weak airflow, inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, or frequent cycling can indicate underlying problems. Professional HVAC technicians can evaluate the system and determine which components require attention. Timely repairs may prevent minor issues from becoming more expensive failures. Having a qualified technician inspect the equipment https://citylineairconditioning.com/ also helps ensure that repairs are completed correctly and the system can return to dependable operation.

Steel buildings have become a practical choice for projects that require strength, flexibility, and long-term value. Their pre-engineered designs can support many applications, from agricultural storage and workshops to commercial facilities and warehouses. Steel framing also allows open interior layouts, making it easier to organize equipment, vehicles, inventory, or work areas. With customizable dimensions, doors, windows, roof styles, and exterior finishes, these steel co buildings structures can be designed around specific project requirements while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
