EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of jazz bassist Chubby Jackson as he confidently plucks the strings of his double bass in the heart of New York City's 52nd Street scene in July 1947. The image, taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, showcases Jackson's infectious smile and his deep connection with his instrument. The backdrop of the urban environment adds to the authenticity of the era, transporting us back to the Golden Age of Jazz. Born Greig Stewart Jackson in South Carolina, Chubby Jackson made a name for himself as a virtuoso double bassist, performing with legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington. His innovative approach to the bass, which involved using a pizzicato technique instead of the traditional bow, revolutionized the role of the bassist in jazz music. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in America during the 1940s. The image, taken on Manhattan Island, New York, is a conceptual representation of the fusion of music, people, and urban life during this pivotal time in American history. William Paul Gottlieb's masterful use of film negative captures the raw energy and emotion of Jackson's performance, making this portrait a must-have for any jazz enthusiast or art collector.
