EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of Charlie Parker, Tommy Potter, and Max Roach, Three Deuces, New York, N.Y. ca. Aug. 1947," is a stunning snapshot of three legendary figures in the annals of jazz history. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, this image immortalizes Charlie Parker (alto saxophonist), Tommy Potter (double bassist), and Max Roach (drummer), as they pose together at the Three Deuces jazz club located on Manhattan's 52nd Street in New York City during the 1940s. The Golden Age of Jazz was in full swing, and the Three Deuces was a popular nightspot where musicians would gather to perform and collaborate. The club's dimly lit, intimate atmosphere provided the perfect setting for the creation of groundbreaking music. In this photograph, the trio exudes an air of confidence and camaraderie, their eyes locked in a shared moment of musical connection. The image showcases the raw energy and creativity that defined the jazz scene during this era. The trio's instruments – a brass alto saxophone, a double bass, and a drum set – are prominently displayed, adding to the visual appeal of the photograph. The film negative captures the intricacies of the textures, from the worn wooden floorboards of the Three Deuces to the creases on the musicians' clothing, evoking a sense of authenticity and nostalgia. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz but also a reminder of the invaluable contributions made by these three influential musicians during the 20th century. It stands as a visual representation of the enduring power of music to bring people together and inspire generations.
