EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of the jazz era in New York City during the 1940s. Taken at the Hotel Commodore's Century Room in January 1947, the photograph features an assemblage of some of the most talented jazz musicians of the time. In the foreground, Ray McKinley, the charismatic bandleader and drummer, holds the attention of the audience with his expressive gaze. To his left, Bill Ainsworth, a skilled trumpeter, adds depth and richness to the composition with his horn angled towards McKinley. In the background, the enigmatic Peanuts Hucko, a virtuoso clarinetist, leans over his music stand, deep in concentration as he prepares to play. Ray Beller, a versatile vibraphonist, completes the scene, his instrument gleaming in the dimly lit room. The musicians are surrounded by the ornate architecture of the Hotel Commodore, a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the era. The photograph was taken by renowned jazz photographer William Paul Gottlieb, who captured the essence of the 'golden age of jazz' through his evocative images. This portrait is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when jazz was at the heart of American culture and creativity. The musicians' passion for their craft is palpable, making this image a timeless treasure in the annals of jazz history.
