EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled 'Portrait of Charlie Barnet' and created by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in 1938, offers a glimpse into the Golden Age of Jazz and the vibrant cultural scene of the United States during the 1930s. The image features Charlie Barnet, an influential bandleader and saxophonist, standing confidently in front of a grand staircase in a hotel or congressional library. Barnet is flanked by an attentive doorman, a female commissionaire, and two male members of his band. The contrast between the formal setting and the casual, relaxed demeanor of the musicians adds an intriguing layer to the photograph. William Paul Gottlieb, a pioneering figure in jazz photography, expertly captures the essence of this moment in time. The use of a film negative enhances the image's depth and texture, creating a timeless quality that resonates with viewers even today. This portrait is a testament to the rich history of jazz music and the diverse group of individuals who contributed to its growth during the 20th century. The image also highlights the various professions and roles that supported the jazz industry, from musicians and bandleaders to doormen and commissionaires. The portrait invites us to reflect on the people and experiences that shaped the jazz scene during the Thirties and beyond.
