EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb on May 16, 1947, captures the essence of the golden age of jazz as Shep Fields and Tex Beneke engage in a lively conversation at the Glen Island Casino in New York, New York. The image showcases the charisma and camaraderie between the two bandleaders as they share a moment away from the stage. Shep Fields, dressed in a sharp suit and tie, exudes confidence and charm, while Tex Beneke, wearing a stylish jacket and dress shirt, listens intently with a drink in hand. The setting, the Glen Island Casino, adds to the ambiance of the scene, with its Art Deco architecture and the subtle glow of the casino lights in the background. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music during the 1940s in America. The image captures the essence of the era, with its fashionable clothing, the concept of jazz as a profession, and the idea of jazz as a form of entertainment that brought people together. The photograph also highlights the importance of jazz as a job for many musicians during this time, with Shep and Tex representing the best of what the genre had to offer. William Paul Gottlieb's photograph is a timeless piece of art that transports us back to a bygone era, a time when jazz was the heart and soul of American music. The image is a reminder of the legacy of jazz greats like Shep Fields and Tex Beneke, and the indelible mark they left on the music industry.
