A GREAT DAY AT MINTON'S PLAYHOUSE

Minton's Playhouse is the classic '30s Harlem jazz house that discovered legends like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk. A large crowd of musicians and artists gathered together to celebrate Minton's Playhouse on Sunday August 10, 2008. What a great day!
