EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, captured by the renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in the late 1940s, features three pioneering figures of the jazz world: Bob Graettinger, Pete Rugolo, and Stan Kenton. The image was most likely taken during a rehearsal or performance in Richmond, Virginia, USA. Bob Graettinger, seen in the foreground, is a skilled trombonist who contributed to the golden age of jazz with his distinctive style and tone. Graettinger's career spanned several decades, and he performed with various bands, including those led by Kenton and Woody Herman. In the middle, Pete Rugolo, a versatile musician and arranger, is seen with a stack of sheet music. Rugolo's innovative arrangements for Kenton's band helped define the cool jazz sound of the 1950s. His work with Kenton and other bands earned him a reputation as one of the most influential figures in jazz arranging. Stan Kenton, the charismatic bandleader and pianist, is shown in the background, deep in thought as he reviews the music. Kenton was a trailblazer in the jazz world, pushing the boundaries of big band music with his complex arrangements and innovative concepts. His band, known as "The Innovators," attracted some of the best jazz musicians of the era. This photograph is an invaluable document of the jazz scene during the 1940s, capturing the camaraderie and creativity of these three influential figures. The image is part of the William P. Gottlieb Collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of jazz heritage that continues to inspire and educate audiences today.
