EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Duke Ellington, one of the greatest figures in the history of jazz music, at the Aquarium in New York City during the golden age of jazz in November 1946. Duke Ellington, born Edward Kennedy Ellington, was a pioneering composer, pianist, and bandleader who revolutionized jazz with his innovative arrangements and distinctive style. In this image, taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, Ellington is shown in deep concentration as he plays the piano, surrounded by the dimly lit, smoky atmosphere of the nightclub. The photograph is a testament to the intense focus and dedication that Ellington brought to his craft, as well as the unique energy and allure of the jazz scene during the 1940s. The image is a valuable addition to the rich cultural heritage of American music and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Duke Ellington on jazz and popular music. This photograph, a film negative from the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the legacy of this legendary musician and his contributions to the jazz world.
