EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the electrifying energy and charisma of Afro-Cuban bandleader Machito, also known as Francisco Raúl Gutiérrez Grillo, and his sister Graciella Grillo, taken at the Glen Island Casino in New York, New York, circa July 1947. The photograph, created by renowned jazz and documentary photographer William Paul Gottlieb, showcases the siblings in their element, surrounded by the vibrant atmosphere of the casino. Machito, a pioneering figure in the Afro-Cuban jazz scene, is seen here with a maraca in hand, his eyes closed in deep concentration as he prepares to play. Graciella, an accomplished vocalist, gazes intently at her brother, her expression full of pride and admiration. The siblings' connection is palpable, their shared love for music and performance evident in their body language. The image is a testament to the golden age of jazz and the rich cultural heritage it represents. The setting, the Glen Island Casino, adds an air of glamour and excitement to the scene, as if to emphasize the importance of their performance. The use of a film negative further enhances the image's timeless quality, transporting us back to the 1940s and the vibrant jazz scene that thrived in New York City during that era. The portrait of Machito and Graciella Grillo is a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of Afro-Cuban music in America and the profound impact it had on the jazz world. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in history, that continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
