EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of jazz drummer Cozy Cole as he gazes directly at the camera with a confident and playful expression. Taken in New York City, New York, during the golden age of jazz in September 1946, this photograph by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb showcases Cozy Cole's mastery of his instrument as he sits before a drum kit, each drum and cymbal meticulously arranged. The monochromatic tones of the image add to the timeless quality of the photograph, transporting us back to the 1940s and the rich cultural heritage of the era. Cozy Cole's smile and direct gaze engage the viewer, inviting us to share in the joy and energy of his music. This portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of jazz and the artists who brought it to life during the forties, a time when music and creativity flourished in the United States." "William Paul Gottlieb, a pioneering figure in jazz photography, captured this intimate moment with his camera, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. The photograph's composition, with Cozy Cole positioned slightly off-center and the drum kit taking up the majority of the frame, emphasizes the importance of the instruments in the jazz tradition. This image is a must-have for any collection of jazz history, music, or African American cultural heritage. The photograph's film negative origin adds to its authenticity and historical significance." "Cozy Cole, born William Randolph Cole, was an influential jazz drummer and bandleader who made his mark during the swing era. His innovative approach to the drums and his ability to swing with the best of them made him a favorite among jazz fans and musicians alike. This portrait is a fitting tribute to his legacy and a reminder of the indelible impact he had on the jazz world.
