EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of jazz legend Art Tatum as he laughs and plays the piano in a dimly lit room. Taken in Rochester, New York, around May 1946, this image is a testament to the golden age of jazz and the unforgettable energy of its greatest performers. Art Tatum, an African American pianist and composer, was renowned for his virtuosic technique and unique improvisational skills. His influence on jazz piano is immeasurable, and his innovative style bridged the gap between swing and bebop. In this photograph, taken by the acclaimed photographer William Paul Gottlieb, Tatum is seen in a moment of pure joy and concentration. The setting – a dimly lit room with a single spotlight illuminating the pianist – adds to the enchanting atmosphere. The photograph's composition, with Tatum's eyes focused intently on the piano keys and his hands poised above them, conveys the intensity and passion that defined his performances. This image, a treasure from the 1940s, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of jazz music and the enduring legacy of its most brilliant artists. William Paul Gottlieb, a master of capturing the essence of his subjects, has left us with a timeless portrait that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
