EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of Charlie Parker, Carnegie Hall, New York, N.Y. ca. 1947," is a breathtaking snapshot of jazz legend Charlie Parker backstage at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, New York City. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb during the 1940s, this image is a testament to the golden age of jazz and the rich cultural heritage it represents. Charlie Parker, an influential figure in the world of jazz saxophonists, is depicted in the photograph with a mischievous grin on his face, as if sharing a secret with the audience. His eyes sparkle with the energy and passion that defined his music. In his hands, he cradles his saxophone, a brass instrument that was his trusted companion and the vehicle for his extraordinary talent. The photograph was taken during a time when Carnegie Hall was a premier venue for jazz performances, and the image captures the essence of the concert experience during this era. The setting, a dimly lit backstage area, adds to the mystique and allure of the moment. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of jazz history, showcasing the charisma and artistry of one of the most influential figures in the genre. William Paul Gottlieb, a master of his craft, expertly captured the essence of Parker's personality and musical prowess in this timeless image. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. is home to this photograph, making it accessible for researchers, scholars, and jazz enthusiasts to study and appreciate the rich history of jazz music and the artists who shaped it.
