Nelson George's amazing documentary of "A Great Day in Hip-Hop"--hip-hop's response to the legendary photo shoot "A Great Day in Harlem" (1958) which featured Jazz artists. Like the photo that inspired it, "A Great Day in Hip-Hop" lacked gender balance; Marian McPhartland, Maxine Sullivan and Mary Lou Williams were the only women in the 1958 shot. Given the money in Hip-hop wonder if such a shoot could even happen again given the reality of publicists and corporate interests.
