EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the essence of the Golden Age of Jazz in New York City during the late 1940s. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in August 1947, the image features Ray Anthony, a talented trumpeter with an expressive and dynamic stage presence. Anthony, with his arms outstretched, seems to be in the midst of a passionate performance, engaging both the audience and his fellow musicians in a shared musical experience. The photograph, titled "Portrait of Ray Anthony, New York, N.Y. ca. Aug. 1947," is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in America. The image is particularly noteworthy for its composition, with the four figures arranged in a balanced and visually appealing way. The female audience member in the foreground, her eyes closed in rapt attention, adds an element of intimacy and connection to the scene. The photograph is a beautiful example of Gottlieb's skill as a photographer, capturing not only the technical aspects of the musicians' performances but also the emotion and energy that defined the jazz scene of the time. The image is particularly striking in its use of contrast, with the dark stage and brightly lit musicians creating a dramatic effect. This photograph, now part of the Library of Congress collection, is a valuable addition to the historical record of jazz music and the people who brought it to life during its golden age. It serves as a reminder of the power of music to bring people together and transport us to another time and place.
