great day in vancouver

 In celebration of their fiftieth anniversary, and inspired by Art Kane's ultra-famous Harlem jazz photo (coincidentally also fifty years old) CODA magazine commissioned photographers in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver to assemble their respective jazz musicians and others involved in jazz locally, for spectacular group portraits. Vancouver jazz photographer and graphic designer, Steve Mynett, produced the beautiful shot you see above. That one, and the others from Montreal and Vancouver appear in the current CODA (Issue 340, September 2008). You can find CODA locally at Chapters, Mayfair News, and possibly other larger newsstands.
