EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled 'Portrait of Alan Kent and Austin Croom-Johnson, New York, N.Y. 1946,' was created by renowned American photographer William Paul Gottlieb during the golden age of jazz in the United States. The image beautifully captures the essence of two talented musicians, Alan Kent on double bass and Austin Croom-Johnson on grand piano, as they engage in a moment of creative collaboration. The photograph was taken in New York City, a hub of cultural innovation and artistic expression during the 1940s. The double bass and grand piano, both essential instruments in jazz music, are prominently featured in the image. Kent, with a focused expression, expertly plucks the strings of his double bass, while Croom-Johnson, with a confident air, poises his hands above the piano keys, ready to bring the music to life. The dynamic interplay between the two musicians is palpable, as they seem to be in perfect harmony, both musically and visually. This evocative portrait is a testament to the rich musical heritage of the 1940s and the enduring legacy of jazz as an American art form. The image is a precious addition to the vast collection of jazz-related materials at the Library of Congress, which serves as a reminder of the contributions made by musicians like Alan Kent and Austin Croom-Johnson to the cultural landscape of the United States during this pivotal decade.
