EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of jazz bassist Slam Stewart as he performs at the Three Deuces jazz club in New York City during the golden age of jazz in September 1946. The image, created by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, showcases Stewart's intense focus and dexterity as he skillfully plays his double bass. The Three Deuces, located in Manhattan, was a popular destination for jazz enthusiasts and musicians alike, and this photograph encapsulates the raw energy and excitement of a live performance during the 1940s. Slam Stewart, an African American musician from the United States, was a key figure in the jazz scene of the time, known for his innovative approach to the double bass. His unique style, which incorporated elements of scat singing and improvisation, set him apart from his contemporaries. This photograph not only highlights Stewart's musical prowess but also showcases the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in America during the 20th century. The image, captured on film negative, is a testament to the enduring legacy of jazz music and the artists who helped shape its history. William Paul Gottlieb, a master of his craft, expertly documents this moment in time, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the profound impact jazz music continues to have on our world.
