EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Portrait of Henry Levine, Fort Myer, Arlington, Va. ca. Feb. 1943," was masterfully captured by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb during the golden age of jazz. The image transports us back in time to the 1940s, a decade marked by significant cultural shifts and momentous historical events in the United States. The scene unfolds at Fort Myer, an Army base located in Arlington, Virginia, where a group of jubilant jazz musicians, including the subject of the photograph, Henry Levine, gather together. Levine, a trombonist, is seen in the foreground, his intense focus and passion for music evident in his expression as he skillfully plays his brass instrument. His fellow musicians, also deeply engrossed in their performance, play their trumpets and trombones, creating a harmonious symphony that resonated with the spirit of the era. This evocative image is a testament to the rich heritage of jazz music in America and the enduring appeal of live performance. The photograph, which was taken on a film negative, is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of historical records and works of art. The image's timeless quality and ability to transport us to a bygone era make it a cherished piece of both American and jazz history. William Paul Gottlieb, a pioneering figure in jazz photography, expertly captured the essence of this moment in time, immortalizing the spirit of the jazz age for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
