EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the intense focus and raw energy of jazz drummer Jack Costanzo as he plays his bongos in the late 1940s. The photograph was taken by renowned jazz photographer William Paul Gottlieb during a performance by the Stan Kenton Orchestra, a leading band of the Golden Age of Jazz. Costanzo, also known as "Mr. Bongo," is seen here in the prime of his career, his hands flying over the bongos with a dexterity and finesse that belies the complexity of the rhythms he is creating. The image, shot in the United States during the 1940s, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music and the dedication of its musicians. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, is a film negative that has been beautifully preserved and continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. The portrait is a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of jazz on American music and culture, and the important role that photographers like William Paul Gottlieb played in documenting and celebrating this unique art form.
