EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Harry Gibson, a renowned double bass player from the golden age of jazz, in the heart of New York City during the summer of 1948. Taken by the esteemed photographer William Paul Gottlieb, the image beautifully encapsulates the essence of the jazz scene that thrived in the city during the 1940s. Gibson, dressed in a sharp suit and holding his double bass, is surrounded by other jazz musicians, each engrossed in their respective instruments - a guitarist strumming a guitar, and a bassist and a guitar player poised to join in. The photograph, taken in a dimly lit room, exudes an air of mystery and excitement, transporting us back to the vibrant nightlife of the jazz era. With the Library of Congress as its home, this color transparency from the vast collection of William Paul Gottlieb's work is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American jazz music and the diverse group of talented individuals who shaped its history.
