EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the jazz scene in New York City during the 1940s. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in April 1947, the image features Charlie Ventura (tenor saxophone), Dave Tough (drums), Bill Harris (trombone), and Ralph Burns (piano) of the Three Deuces band. The Three Deuces was a popular jazz nightclub located on Manhattan's 52nd Street, a hub of jazz and nightlife in the city. In this portrait, the musicians are captured mid-performance, each lost in the music they are creating. Ventura leans back with a thoughtful expression, his saxophone angled towards his mouth. Tough's intense focus is evident as he hits the drums with precision. Harris' trombone is raised, ready for the next note, while Burns' hands fly over the piano keys. The photograph is a testament to the golden age of jazz, a time when the music was raw, expressive, and alive. The image is rich in cultural heritage and historical significance, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The use of a film negative adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, creating a sense of depth and texture that transports us back to the jazz clubs of Manhattan in the 1940s.
