The Wall Street Journal: Tad Hendrickson: 19th May, 2013.

The 1958 Art Kane photo "A Great Day in HARLEM" featured 57 jazz musicians posed on the steps and sidewalk in front of a HARLEM brownstone. It is arguably the most famous jazz photo ever taken. Riffing on that photo, the Jazz Foundation of America hosted its 12th Annual A Great Night in HARLEM performance and gala Friday night at the Apollo Theater, which around the corner from the site of the famous photo.

"The idea was born when I first took this job," recalled Wendy Oxenhorn, the executive director of the organization. "I didn't know much about Jazz—I was a straight bluesman—so I rented Jean Bach's 'A Great Day in HARLEM' documentary figuring I'd learn who was who, like a mini-history lesson. When I was watching it, I thought, How amazing would it be to get all the jazz legends left today to come together and create a living playing photograph in HARLEM on the stage of the Apollo?"

Ms. Oxenhorn and the JFA pulled the initial one together in nine weeks, presenting the first jazz-and-blues concert at the Apollo in 50 years to a packed house 13 days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

That night they raised $350,000 with just a concert. The JFA has since raised over ...

Harlem Shake Video Lands Azerbaijani Activist in Jail for "Hooliganism"

Mon, 20 May 2013 20:16:00 GMT

Source: www.slate.com --- Monday, May 20, 2013
Earlier this year, the HARLEM Shake, a video Internet meme, became a viral online sensation. For most, the HARLEM Shake phenomenon was a quick laugh that rapidly grew stale . But in Azerbaijan, at least one activist may be reaping the consequences for years to come. On May 17, Azerbaijani youth activist Ilkin Rustemzade was arrested on charges of hooliganism for his alleged involvement in a HARLEM Shake video filmed in the country’s capital city, Baku. The video, which was uploaded to YouTube more than two months before his arrest, is completely apolitical, and Rustemzade does not even appear on-screen. The government claims that he helped film it, though his lawyer denies he was involved at all. Others who have made HARLEM Shake videos in Baku— including members of a pro-government youth movement —have not been punished. The real reason Rustemzade has been targeted is because of his online activism and his criticism of the government as part of the Free Youth Organization. Rustemzade has already been sentenced to two months of pre-trial detention, and he faces up to five years in jail if convicted of the hooliganism charges. Just two days before his arrest in connection with the video, Rustemzade was released after serving 15 days of administrative detention. He had been arrested for gathering peacefully to commemorate victims on the anniversary of the 2009 shooting at the Azerbaijan State Oil Academy. Rustemzade also served six ...

Marcus Samuelsson Reveals His All-Time Favorite Harlem Fried Chicken Joint

Each week in our Chefs Off Duty series, we talk to some of our favorite chefs and industry folk around the country to find out their secret late-night spots where they like to grab a bite and a pint when their kitchens are finally closed. Next up: Marcus Samuelsson , the chef/owner behind HARLEM's wildly popular Swedish-meets-soul food emporium, Red Rooster and its sister subterranean supper club, Ginny's , and the author of the James Beard award-winning memoir Yes, Chef , which comes out on paperback tomorrow. Where is your favorite place to go get a bite to eat when you're leaving your own restaurant? I love Charles' [Country Pan] Fried Chicken , which is on 150th and Eighth Avenue. It's tiny -- it's a classic mom and pop. It's an all-day, American Southern soulfood restaurant. Most people don't really eat in but I eat in or take the meal across the street. It's a staple of the community. People come after work, bring the box home or go eat it on the way to work. People are there all day. I have a little bit of collard greens and a little bit of peas and then I go over and watch basketball. There's a legendary outdoor basketball court here in HARLEM where basketball players like Kobe Bryant go in the summer to play with the street guys. It's one of my favorite things. How did you first come across Charles'? Before I opened [Red] Rooster, I biked and walked a lot around the neighborhood to learn what the community was about and ...
