EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Portrait of Harry James, Coca Cola radio show rehearsal, New York, N.Y. 1946,' is a stunning example of American cultural heritage from the golden age of jazz. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, this image transports us back to the forties, a decade marked by innovation and creativity in music. The photograph features Harry James, a celebrated trumpeter and bandleader, and his fellow musicians as they rehearse for a live radio broadcast with the Coca Cola program. The scene is set in New York City, the epicenter of jazz during this era. The two men, dressed in formal attire, are deeply engrossed in their performance, their expressions reflecting a shared focus and intensity. James, with his trumpet held at a slight angle, is positioned in the foreground, while the other musician, whose identity remains unknown, plays the drums in the background. The photograph captures the raw energy and passion that defined the jazz scene during this period. The use of a film negative adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a must-have for any collection of jazz-era photography. This photograph is a testament to the rich musical history of America and the enduring influence of jazz on our culture. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our artistic heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The Library of Congress, where this photograph is housed, is a fitting home for such an invaluable piece of American history.
