EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of an iconic moment in the annals of jazz history. Taken in November 1946 at the Aquarium, a popular nightclub in New York City, the image features two legendary musicians, Django Reinhardt and David Rose, sharing a moment of camaraderie and mutual respect. Django Reinhardt (1910-1953), a virtuoso Romani gypsy guitarist from France, is considered one of the pioneers of the jazz guitar. His innovative style, characterized by lightning-fast fingerwork and a unique tone, influenced generations of musicians. Reinhardt's left hand was injured in a fire when he was a teenager, leaving him with limited use, but he overcame this challenge to become one of the most influential figures in the Golden Age of Jazz. David Daniel Rose (1910-1992), an American composer, arranger, and conductor, was a versatile musician who made significant contributions to various genres, including jazz, pop, and film music. In the 1940s, he led his own big band, which was known for its lush, orchestral arrangements. The photograph, taken by renowned jazz photographer William Paul Gottlieb (1917-2006), captures the two musicians in a casual, off-stage setting. Reinhardt, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looks intently at Rose, who is resting his hand on the French guitarist's shoulder. The image evokes a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect between these two giants of jazz, who came together in the melting pot of New York City's vibrant jazz scene. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz, which transcended racial and national boundaries and brought people together through the universal language of music. The image is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress' extensive collection of jazz photography, which documents the history and evolution of this uniquely American art form.
