EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, taken by renowned jazz photographer William Paul Gottlieb in July 1947, captures a moment in time at the Glen Island Casino in New York. The image features four prominent figures of the Afro-Cuban jazz scene: Mario Bouza on trumpet, Jose Mangual Sr. on bongos, Carlos Vidal(?) on congas, and Ubaldo Nieto on drums. The Golden Age of Jazz was in full swing during the 1940s, and this image encapsulates the energy and excitement of the era. The men are dressed sharply in suits and ties, their eyes focused intently on their instruments as they prepare to perform. The setting, the Glen Island Casino, adds an air of sophistication and glamour to the scene. The influence of Cuban music on American jazz was significant during this time, and these men were at the forefront of the movement. Bouza, Mangual, Vidal, and Nieto were all accomplished musicians who brought a unique and vibrant sound to the jazz scene. Their collaboration resulted in a fusion of African rhythms and American jazz, creating a sound that continues to influence music today. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music and the important role that Afro-Cuban musicians played in its development. It is a reminder of the contributions made by these pioneers during the 1940s and the lasting impact they had on the genre." William Paul Gottlieb's photograph of Mario Bouza, Jose Mangual, Carlos Vidal(?), and Ubaldo Nieto at the Glen Island Casino in New York in July 1947 is a significant document of the Golden Age of Jazz and the influence of Cuban music on American jazz. The image captures the intensity and focus of these accomplished musicians as they prepare to perform, while also highlighting the sophistication and glamour of the setting. The photograph is a valuable addition to the heritage of jazz music and a testament to the important contributions made by Afro-Cuban musicians during the 1940s.
