EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Stan Kenton, an American jazz legend, in his element during the Golden Age of Jazz in New York City, circa January 1947. The image, created by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, showcases Kenton's introspective demeanor as he focuses intently on the piano keys, his braces adding an intriguing contrast to his formal attire. The pianist, dressed in a crisp shirt, tie, and jacket, exudes an air of sophistication and confidence, reflecting the cultural heritage of the time. The setting, likely a recording studio or performance venue, adds to the authenticity of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the enduring influence of jazz music on American culture during the 1940s and the artistry of William Paul Gottlieb, who captured the essence of a generation in his work." "The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of jazz history, a reminder of the rich musical legacy that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world. The image is a powerful representation of the era's fashion trends, with Kenton's classic dress code embodying the style and elegance of the time. This portrait is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of jazz music, American culture, or the art of photography."
