EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of the Golden Age of Jazz as it depicts Larry Clinton and Betty George at the Copacabana nightclub in New York City, New York, circa September 1947. Larry Clinton, a talented bandleader and clarinetist, gazes intently at Betty George, a striking vocalist, as if proposing a song or perhaps something more. The tender moment between the two performers exudes an air of chivalry and romance, making this image a poignant representation of the jazz culture of the time. William Paul Gottlieb, a renowned photographer, expertly captured the scene using a film negative, resulting in a stunning contrast between the crisp white tuxedo of Larry Clinton and Betty George's elegant black dress. The location, the iconic Copacabana, adds to the allure of the image, as it was a popular venue for jazz performances during the 1940s. This portrait is a testament to the rich heritage of jazz music and the people who brought it to life during its golden age. The image invites us to reflect on the past, to remember the decadence and excitement of the jazz scene, and to appreciate the timeless connection between music, performance, and human emotion.
