EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the lively energy and camaraderie of two prominent figures in the Golden Age of Jazz: Noro Morales and Humberto López Morales. Taken at the Glen Island Casino in New York, around July 1947, the image showcases the pair in their element, surrounded by the trappings of a vibrant jazz performance. Noro Morales, born Baldomero Morales, was a Cuban-born American drummer and bandleader who made a significant mark on the jazz scene during the 1940s. Morales' innovative approach to Latin jazz rhythms and his dynamic drumming style earned him a devoted following and influenced a generation of musicians. Humberto López Morales, also known as "Humberto Morales," was a skilled percussionist and maracas player. Born in Puerto Rico, Morales joined forces with Morales in the late 1940s, forming a formidable rhythm section that brought an authentic Latin flair to their jazz performances. In this photograph, Morales and Morales are captured in a moment of pure musical expression. Morales sits at his drum kit, his focus intently on the drums, while Morales stands beside him, brandishing a pair of maracas. Both men wear confident grins, their eyes alight with the joy of music and the thrill of performance. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz during the 1940s, a time when the genre was at its zenith. The photograph, taken by renowned jazz photographer William Paul Gottlieb, is a precious reminder of the contributions of these two influential musicians and the impact they had on the jazz world.
