EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and focus of jazz legend Charlie Parker backstage at Carnegie Hall in New York City during the 1940s. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, the image showcases Parker, dressed in a sharp suit and holding his saxophone, deep in thought as he prepares for a performance. The setting, Carnegie Hall, is a fitting backdrop for this iconic figure of the jazz world. The image is a testament to the golden age of jazz, a time when the genre was at the height of its popularity and influence. The photograph, taken in the late 1940s, is a valuable historical document, capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in American cultural history. The Library of Congress, located in Washington D.C., holds the original film negative of this image, making it an important part of the country's cultural heritage. The portrait of Charlie Parker, with his saxophone at the ready, is a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of jazz music and the artists who brought it to life during this era.
