EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of James P. (James Price) Johnson, New York, N.Y.(?), ca. May 1946," is a stunning representation of jazz history and cultural heritage. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, the image showcases a mixed-race group of boys and men gathered around a grand piano, with the esteemed jazz pianist James Price Johnson at the forefront. Johnson, often referred to as the "Father of Stride Piano," was a pivotal figure in the Golden Age of Jazz, and his influence can be seen in the eager expressions of the young boys in the photograph. The photograph, taken in May 1946 in New York City, captures the essence of the jazz age, with its raw energy and vibrant atmosphere. The boys, dressed in casual attire, sit on the floor, intently watching Johnson as he performs on the piano. The men in the background, dressed in suits and hats, add an air of sophistication and respect to the scene. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of music to bring people together, regardless of race or age. It is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage that jazz has brought to America and the world. The photograph, which was taken on a film negative, is a valuable addition to any collection of jazz history or American cultural art. William Paul Gottlieb was a prolific photographer, known for his evocative portraits of jazz musicians and performers. His work captures the essence of the jazz age, and this photograph of James Price Johnson is a prime example of his talent. The photograph is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a fitting tribute to the legacy of this iconic jazz pianist and the enduring power of jazz music.
