EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the introspective moment of jazz saxophonist Arnett Cobb during a performance at a New York City nightclub in 1946. The image, taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, is a poignant reminder of the Golden Age of Jazz that flourished in the 1940s, particularly on Manhattan's 52nd Street. Cobb, with his eyes closed and saxophone held tightly, seems lost in the music, transported to another realm. The photograph, published in Downbeat magazine, is a testament to the deep connection between the musician and his instrument, as well as the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in America. Taken during a time when jazz was a major influence on popular music and culture, this image is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress' extensive collection of jazz history. The film negative, now digitized, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the artistry and soul of a bygone era.
