EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the intense focus and raw energy of jazz drummer Ray McKinley as he performs at the Hotel Commodore in New York City during the golden age of jazz in the late 1940s. The image, taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, showcases McKinley's skillful use of his cymbals, with a fine layer of sweat glistening on his forehead and the steam from his breath visible in the cool spring air. McKinley's piercing gaze and the subtle curve of his lips suggest a deep connection to the music, as he pours his heart and soul into every beat. The Hotel Commodore, a historic venue known for its contributions to the jazz scene, serves as the perfect backdrop for this powerful and evocative image. With his stylish glasses perched on his nose and a confident air about him, McKinley embodies the essence of a jazz great, leaving a lasting impression on all who bear witness to his artistry.
