EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of Duke Ellington and Junior Raglin at the Howard Theater, Washington, D.C., 1938," is a stunning testament to the golden age of jazz and the rich cultural heritage it left behind. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, the image features two prominent figures of the era: Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington, the legendary jazz composer, pianist, and bandleader, and Junior Raglin, his accomplished double bassist. The photograph captures Ellington and Raglin in a candid moment during a performance at the historic Howard Theater in Washington, D.C. Ellington, dressed impeccably in a suit and tie, gazes intently into the distance, lost in the music. Raglin, focused and poised, plays his double bass with a sense of mastery and dedication. The stage is set with a single microphone, ready to amplify the soulful sounds of their music. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that jazz played in American culture during the 1930s. It showcases the dedication and passion of the musicians who brought this unique art form to life, and the profound impact it had on audiences. The image also highlights the camaraderie and collaboration between Ellington and Raglin, two talented artists who shared a deep connection through their music. William Paul Gottlieb's photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of jazz history, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Duke Ellington and Junior Raglin. The image is a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship that defined the golden age of jazz, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage it left behind.
