EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of jazz bandleader Ted Weems and his WINX band members in 1938, during the Golden Age of Jazz in America. Seated in the center, Weems, with a confident and charismatic expression, holds a microphone, ready to speak or sing into it. To his left, two other band members, one white and one black, focus intently on their instruments - a trumpet and a saxophone, respectively. The trio's attire, from Weems' sharp suit to the band members' crisp shirts and ties, exudes an air of professionalism and camaraderie. The scene takes place in a Washington, D.C. radio station, where the band was likely recording or performing live for broadcast. The image, taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, captures the intimacy and excitement of a jazz performance, as well as the cultural significance of the medium during the 1930s. Gottlieb, a pioneering figure in jazz photography, skillfully captured the essence of the era, from the concept of the jazz band as a collective entity to the individual personalities of its members. This portrait of Ted Weems and WINX is a testament to the rich musical heritage of the United States, showcasing the diversity and unity of its people during an important moment in American history.
