EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of Tommy Myles and John Malachi at the Turkish Embassy, Washington, D.C., 1938," is a stunning snapshot of two accomplished jazz musicians in their element. The image, created by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, transports us back to the Golden Age of Jazz in America during the 1930s. Tommy Myles, a skillful pianist, and John Malachi, an accomplished drummer, are seen here in a casual yet focused performance setting at the Turkish Embassy in Washington, D.C. The embassy's elegant surroundings provide an intriguing backdrop to the scene, as the men engage in a musical dialogue that speaks to their deep connection and mutual respect. Gottlieb, a master of capturing the essence of jazz musicians, expertly showcases the dynamic interplay between the two artists. Myles' intense concentration on the piano keys and Malachi's animated expression as he plays the drums create a palpable energy that resonates with viewers. The photograph also highlights the instruments that were integral to their craft – a piano and a drum kit. This evocative image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in America and the enduring bond between its musicians. The photograph's timeless quality invites us to reflect on the history of jazz and the artists who have shaped its legacy. William Paul Gottlieb's "Portrait of Tommy Myles and John Malachi at the Turkish Embassy, Washington, D.C., 1938," is a valuable addition to any collection of jazz history and African American cultural heritage.
