On September 9, 1958, Columbia Records toasted its thriving jazz division with a party in the Persian Room at the Plaza Hotel which included performances by Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Jimmy Rushing and Duke Ellington. This informal, but candid Don Hunstein shot, eavesdrops on the coolest table in the room, where Lady Day and Miles Davis share a joke with the mythic jazz-blues singer Jimmy Rushing. The Jazz at the Plaza party marked the first time jazz had been performed at the deluxe New York hotel.

Michael P. ★★★★★

The print’s contrast really makes Miles’ trumpet gleam against the dark background, like you’re right there in the room. I’ve got it framed in my study, and it’s already a conversation piece for anyone who loves that era.

Ava ★★★★★

The Persian Room shot captures a real moment—you can almost hear the clinking glasses and the horns from that September night. Frame came well-protected and the archival quality makes the 1958 vibe pop.

Robert ★★★★★

Miles Davis and Billie Holiday together in one frame is incredible—I love how the photo captures the glamour of the Plaza Hotel’s Persian Room. The detail on their faces feels so alive, like you’re right there in 1958. It’s become the centerpiece of my living room.
