EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the charisma and energy of Cab Calloway, an iconic figure in the golden age of jazz. Taken at Columbia Studio in New York City during March 1947, the photograph was created by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb. Cab Calloway, dressed in a sharp suit and hat, gazes directly into the camera with a confident and playful expression. Known for his unique scat singing and high-energy performances, Calloway was a trailblazing African American entertainer who rose to prominence during the 1930s and 1940s. This portrait offers a glimpse into the legacy of a man who left an indelible mark on American music history. With his signature style and unmistakable stage presence, Calloway continued to captivate audiences for decades, leaving behind a rich musical heritage that continues to inspire new generations." "The photograph, captured on film negative, is a testament to the artistry of both the subject and the photographer. William Paul Gottlieb, a master of his craft, expertly captured the essence of Calloway's personality, creating an image that transcends time and continues to resonate with viewers today. The portrait also serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that recording studios played in the development of jazz music during the 1940s, providing a space where artists like Calloway could create and record their music for an eager audience." "This portrait of Cab Calloway is not only a valuable historical document, but also a work of art in its own right. The contrast between the white background and Calloway's dark suit and hat creates a striking visual effect, while the depth of field and lighting add to the overall impact of the image. The portrait is a testament to the enduring power of jazz music and the artists who brought it to life during the 1940s, making it an essential addition to any collection of American cultural heritage.
