EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the charisma and energy of Cab Calloway, an iconic figure in the golden age of jazz. Taken in March 1947 at Columbia Studio in New York City, the photograph finds Calloway in deep concentration as he looks back at something off-camera. Flanked by two unidentified men, likely band members or studio personnel, Calloway exudes an air of authority and confidence. The image captures the essence of a man in the midst of his creative process, lost in the moment and fully immersed in his craft. Born in 1907 in Rochester, New York, Calloway rose to prominence in the 1930s as a singer, songwriter, and bandleader. Known for his distinctive high-pitched voice and dynamic stage presence, Calloway and his band, the Hi-De-Ho's, were a staple of the jazz scene during the 1940s. This portrait, taken during a recording session, offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of a jazz legend at the height of his career. William Paul Gottlieb, the renowned photographer behind the lens, expertly captures the essence of Calloway's personality and the unique atmosphere of a recording studio during the forties. The use of natural light, the simple yet effective composition, and the timeless quality of the image make this portrait a standout piece of jazz heritage art.
