EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Portrait of Wesley Prince, Nat King Cole, and Freddie Moore' by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, transports us back to the 1930s in America. The image showcases an intimate moment between three African American musicians, Nat King Cole on piano, Wesley Prince on double bass, and Freddie Moore on guitar. The trio is captured in a makeshift gymnasium, with boxing gloves and an exercise bike in the background, suggesting a playful and lighthearted atmosphere. The Golden Age of Jazz was in full swing during this era, and these three musicians were at the forefront of the genre. Nat King Cole, born Nathaniel Adams Coles, was a trailblazing jazz singer and pianist, known for his distinctive baritone voice and sophisticated style. Wesley Prince was an accomplished double bassist, providing the rhythmic foundation for countless jazz ensembles. Freddie Moore, a versatile guitarist, added depth and texture to the music with his skillful playing. The photograph, taken in the late 1930s, is a testament to the camaraderie and creativity that defined the jazz scene during this time. The musicians are seen in casual attire, dressed in simple shirts and trousers, with relaxed expressions on their faces. The film negative captures the authenticity and raw emotion of the moment, making it a valuable piece of jazz heritage art. This photograph is not only a reminder of the rich musical history of America but also a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable musicians, who, despite their humble surroundings, were making history with their music.
