EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Portrait of Dizzy Gillespie, John Lewis, Cecil Payne, Ray Brown, and Miles Davis," was captured by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in New York City during the golden age of jazz in 1946. The image, published in Downbeat magazine, showcases an intimate moment in the lives of five pioneering figures of the jazz world: Dizzy Gillespie, John Lewis, Cecil Payne, Ray Brown, and Miles Davis. The photograph was taken at an unspecified location on Manhattan Island, likely a jazz club or recording studio. The men are dressed in fashionable attire of the 1940s, with Gillespie donning a striped shirt and suspenders, Davis wearing a crisp white shirt and tie, and Lewis, Payne, and Brown dressed in smart jackets and slacks. Gillespie, a virtuoso trumpeter and bandleader, is known for his innovative bebop style and distinctive scat singing. John Lewis, a pianist and composer, was a founding member of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Cecil Payne, a baritone saxophonist, was a key figure in the development of hard bop. Ray Brown, a bassist, was a prolific session musician and bandleader. Miles Davis, the enigmatic trumpeter, is considered one of the most influential figures in jazz history. The background of the photograph is filled with the curious faces of other patrons, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz in America during the 1940s and the enduring influence of these legendary musicians.
