EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of Howard McGhee, Brick Fleagle, and Miles Davis, New York, N.Y. ca. Sept. 1947," is a stunning representation of the camaraderie and creativity that defined the jazz scene in the late 1940s. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, this image captures an intimate moment between three influential figures of the genre: Howard McGhee on trumpet, Brick Fleagle on saxophone, and Miles Davis on trumpet. Dressed in fashionable attire of the era, the trio exudes an air of cool confidence. McGhee, with his braces and dark suit, contrasts sharply with the more casual Fleagle, who dons a plaid shirt and dark trousers. Davis, ever the trendsetter, wears a stylish fedora and sunglasses, even indoors. The diverse ethnicities of the group reflect the rich cultural melting pot of the jazz world. The photograph was taken during the Golden Age of Jazz, a time when the genre was at the height of its popularity and influence. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. houses this precious piece of jazz history, a testament to the enduring legacy of these three virtuosos and the indelible mark they left on American music. The image is a poignant reminder of the collaborative spirit that characterized the jazz scene during this period, as musicians came together to push the boundaries of their craft and create new sounds. This photograph is not just a snapshot of a moment in time, but a window into the heritage and culture of the jazz age.
