EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Portrait of Joe Marsala, Adele Girard, and Toots Thielemans, 52nd Street, New York, N.Y. ca. 1948,' is a stunning snapshot of jazz history. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, the image transports us back to the golden age of jazz on Manhattan's 52nd Street. The portrait features three prominent figures of the era: Joe Marsala, a clarinetist; Adele Girard, a harpist; and Toots Thielemans, a Belgian-American clarinettist and harmonica player. The trio is captured in a casual yet intimate setting, with Marsala and Girard seated on a stoop, while Thielemans stands nearby, holding his instrument case. The building's exterior, with its peeling paint and worn brick, adds to the gritty, authentic atmosphere of the scene. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music during the 1940s. The decade saw the emergence of some of the most influential artists in the genre, and this image encapsulates the spirit of collaboration and camaraderie that defined the era. The image also highlights the diversity of the jazz scene, with the presence of both American and Belgian musicians. The photograph, which is part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the historical record of jazz music. It invites us to reflect on the past, while also reminding us of the enduring power of music to bring people together.
