EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Portrait of Henry Levine, Fort Myer, Arlington, Va. ca. Feb. 1943," captures a moment in time during the golden age of jazz. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, the image presents a group of jazz musicians, including Henry Levine, gathered together at Fort Myer, an army base in Arlington, Virginia. The date, February 1943, places this photograph within the context of World War II, a period when jazz music held significant cultural importance for both the military and the American public. The musicians in the photograph are seen in a casual, relaxed setting, with some playing their instruments and others engaging in conversation. Henry Levine, the focus of the portrait, is shown playing his trombone, his expression one of deep concentration as he coaxes rich, soulful notes from the brass instrument. The other musicians in the background, some playing trumpets and others simply listening, add to the sense of camaraderie and shared passion for music. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of jazz as a form of artistic expression and a source of community and connection, even in the midst of wartime. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that the arts played in American culture during the 1940s, and the impact that jazz musicians like Henry Levine had on shaping the musical landscape of the time. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection of heritage art, and a testament to the legacy of William Paul Gottlieb as a pioneering jazz photographer. The image is a rich and evocative snapshot of a bygone era, and a reminder of the power of music to bring people together and uplift the human spirit.
