EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, captured by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in July 1947, presents an enchanting moment in time at the Glen Island Casino in New York. The image features an assemblage of influential figures from the Afro-Cuban jazz scene, including Machito (Jose Mangual Sr.), Mario Bouza, Carlos Vidal(?), Ubaldo Nieto, and Graciella Grillo. Machito, the bandleader and mambo pioneer, stands proudly in the center, dressed in a sharp suit and holding his trademark maracas. To his left, Mario Bouza, a talented arranger and saxophonist, grins playfully, while Carlos Vidal(?) strums his guitar with a confident expression. Ubaldo Nieto, the energetic conga player, and Graciella Grillo, the captivating vocalist, complete the dynamic group. The Glen Island Casino, a popular venue during the Golden Age of Jazz, served as the perfect backdrop for this iconic image. The group's diverse instrumentation, including maracas, guitar, and congas, reflects the rich cultural fusion that characterized the Afro-Cuban jazz scene during the 1940s. This evocative portrait not only showcases the camaraderie and creativity of these remarkable musicians but also highlights the heritage and cultural significance of the Latin American jazz tradition in America. The image is a testament to the enduring influence of these pioneering artists and the indelible mark they left on the jazz world.
