EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of Howard McGhee and Brick Fleagle, New York, N.Y. ca. Sept. 1947," is a stunning representation of the camaraderie and creativity that defined the jazz scene in the mid-20th century. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, this image captures the moment as Howard McGhee, an influential African American trumpeter, and Brick Fleagle, a white clarinetist and saxophonist, engage in a musical duet. The setting is the vibrant cultural melting pot of New York City during the golden age of jazz. McGhee, with his intense gaze and closed eyes, is deeply engrossed in the music, his trumpet poised and ready to produce the rich, soulful notes that would become his signature sound. Fleagle, with a calm and focused expression, closes his eyes as well, lost in the rhythm and harmony of their collaboration. The dynamic interplay between these two musicians, captured in this timeless image, speaks to the universal language of jazz and the power of music to transcend boundaries of race and ethnicity. This photograph, now part of the prestigious Library of Congress collection, is a testament to the rich heritage of jazz music and the diverse group of artists who contributed to its evolution during the 1940s. The image, with its intriguing mix of contrasting backgrounds and expressions, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of jazz or the social and cultural context of the time.
