EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the essence of the Golden Age of Jazz in America during the late 1940s. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in New York City, the image features a group of accomplished jazz musicians, including Henry James Wells, a virtuoso double bass player. The setting is intimate and raw, with the musicians gathered around a piano, their instruments at the ready. Henry Wells, an African American musician from the Washington D.C. area, is shown in the foreground, his intense gaze fixed on the double bass that rests between his legs. The trombone player in the background, his face partially obscured by the shadow of his instrument, adds to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The other musicians in the group, including a pianist and a saxophonist, are equally engrossed in their performances. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in America during this era. The use of a film negative adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era of smoky jazz clubs and late-night performances. The portrait is a reminder of the enduring power of music to bring people together and transcend boundaries, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of jazz history or American cultural art.
