EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned jazz photographer William Paul Gottlieb in January 1947, presents a captivating portrait of two distinguished musicians, Ray McKinley and Paul Kashian, in the Century Room of New York City's Hotel Commodore. The atmospheric setting, bathed in the soft glow of the room's lighting, adds to the sense of intimacy and camaraderie between the two men. Ray McKinley, a talented drummer and bandleader, is seen here in a sharp suit, his focused expression and steady gaze conveying a sense of command and control as he holds a shaker in his hand, ready to add his signature rhythmic flourishes to the music. Paul Kashian, a versatile musician and composer, is shown to his left, dressed in a stylish jacket and tie, his hands poised above the keys of a piano, as if in mid-composition. The image is a testament to the golden age of jazz in America, a time when the music was at the height of its popularity and influence, and when musicians like McKinley and Kashian were at the forefront of the scene. The photograph captures not only the fashionable apparel and musical instruments of the era but also the sense of excitement and innovation that characterized the jazz world during this period. William Paul Gottlieb, a master of photography, expertly captures the essence of this moment in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of these two remarkable musicians and the world of jazz that they inhabited.
