EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of the Golden Age of Jazz in America during the late 1930s. The image, titled "Portrait of Ted Weems and his WINX Band," was taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb at a radio station in Washington, D.C. The bandleader, Ted Weems, gazes directly at the camera with a confident air, surrounded by his accomplished musicians. The group, a mix of men and women, is dressed in formal attire, adding to the sophisticated ambiance of the scene. Weems, with a microphone in hand, stands proudly in the center, while his band members, some with their instruments, look on. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and the shared passion for music that defined the jazz era. The portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in the United States and the pivotal role that radio played in disseminating it to audiences across the country." "William Paul Gottlieb, a pioneering figure in jazz photography, expertly captured this moment in time. His use of natural lighting and the direct gaze of his subjects adds depth and intimacy to the image. The photograph is a valuable document of the era's history and the legacy of jazz music in America. The portrait is a must-have for any collection of jazz-era photography or American cultural heritage." "The WINX Band, led by Weems, was a popular swing band of the time, known for their energetic performances and unique sound. The band's name was derived from the initials of its members: Weems, Isham Jones, and Newell Darensburg, Xavier Cugat, and Jack Teagarden. The group's radio broadcasts from Washington, D.C., brought their music to listeners across the country, contributing to the widespread popularity of swing music during the 1930s.
