EDITORS COMMENTS
Marshall Royal and Frank Wess, two legendary saxophonists with the Count Basie Orchestra, are captured in this print from the 1950s. The image showcases their immense talent and contribution to the world of jazz music during a pivotal era in American history. Dressed impeccably in suits, these African American musicians exude confidence as they prepare to take the stage. Their instruments at hand, Marshall Royal and Frank Wess are seen warming up, blowing into their brass saxophones with passion and precision. The Count Basie Orchestra was renowned for its swinging rhythms and dynamic performances that captivated audiences across the country. As members of this iconic big band led by William "Count". Basie himself, Royal and Wess played an integral role in shaping the sound of jazz during this time. Their dedication to their craft is evident as they practice diligently in their dressing room before each show. With monochrome aesthetics enhancing the timeless quality of this photograph, it serves as a powerful reminder of the significant contributions made by African American artists within America's cultural landscape. As we admire this portrait frozen in time, let us celebrate Marshall Royal and Frank Wess for their musical prowess that transcended boundaries while leaving an indelible mark on jazz history.
