EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of jazz legend Earl 'Fatha' Hines in the heart of New York City during the 1940s. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, the image finds Hines in mid-performance, his arms raised in a dynamic gesture that speaks to the energy and passion he brought to every note he played. Surrounded by a group of attentive bandmates and an engaged audience, Hines' presence commands the room, drawing the eye and ear of all who bear witness. As a pioneering figure in the golden age of jazz, Hines' influence on the genre is immeasurable. Known for his innovative use of stride piano and his ability to seamlessly blend swing and bebop, he helped shape the sound of jazz in the 20th century. This portrait, taken at an undetermined location in New York City, serves as a testament to Hines' enduring impact on American music and culture. The image, a film negative from the 1940s, is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of heritage art that chronicles the rich history of the United States. With its timeless composition and evocative subject matter, this portrait continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of jazz.
