EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the Golden Age of Jazz, taken between 1938 and 1948 at the historic Howard Theater in Washington, D.C. The image features an esteemed gathering of jazz greats, including Barney Bigard on clarinet, Ben Webster on tenor saxophone, Otto Toby Hardwick on trombone, Harry Carney on baritone saxophone, Rex Stewart on trumpet, Sonny Greer on drums, Wallace (Leon) Jones on trumpet or cornet, and Ray Nance on trumpet or violin. William Paul Gottlieb, a renowned jazz photographer, expertly captured the essence of these talented musicians as they came together to create music that would leave an indelible mark on American culture. The group, dressed in formal attire, exudes a sense of camaraderie and professionalism, their instruments at the ready. The Howard Theater, a significant venue for African American performers during the 1930s and 1940s, served as the backdrop for this iconic portrait. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of jazz music and the contributions of these influential artists during a pivotal period in American history. The photograph, which was taken using a film negative, is a valuable addition to any collection of jazz memorabilia or cultural art. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of these musicians and the impact they had on the world of jazz and beyond.
