EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of jazz saxophonist Charlie Ventura in an intimate setting. Taken in April 1947 at William P. Gottlieb's home in New York, this image was shot in the table tennis room. Ventura, with his head tilted back and a thoughtful expression, is deep in the moment as he plays his tenor saxophone. The brass instrument, a symbol of jazz music's golden age, is positioned perfectly against the backdrop of the room's decor, adding to the timeless quality of the photograph. Ventura's fashionable attire, with a crisp shirt and dress pants, complements the classic style of the era. The monochrome palette of the image, a hallmark of Gottlieb's photography, adds to the image's enduring appeal. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in America during the 1940s, a time often referred to as the jazz age. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. holds this photograph as part of its extensive collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the artistry and history of jazz music. This portrait of Charlie Ventura, captured by the renowned photographer William P. Gottlieb, is a reminder of the profound impact that jazz music has had on American culture and continues to inspire today.
