Great article. I would argue "no" (a couple of other solid contenders) but that's neither here nor there

Nice writeup, but I'd also argue no (although it's definitely up there). This is also considered the greatest photo in jazz history as a photo document: http://www.a-great-day-in-harlem.com/
And if you haven't seen the documentary, it's topnotch.
