EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the enigmatic and glamorous presence of Mary Lou Williams, a pioneering African American jazz pianist and composer, in 1938. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb during the golden age of jazz in New York City, the image reflects the star's poised and confident demeanor as she gazes off into the distance, her hands resting gracefully on the piano keys. The photograph, which was taken using a flashbulb and a camera, is a testament to the artistry and cultural significance of the jazz scene in the United States during the 1930s. The portrait is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a fitting tribute to the legacy of this groundbreaking musician and her enduring impact on American music history." "Mary Lou Williams, born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1910, was a trailblazing figure in the world of jazz, known for her innovative style and improvisational skills. She began her career as a pianist and singer in the 1920s, and went on to collaborate with some of the greatest names in jazz, including Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. This portrait, taken during the height of her career, captures the essence of a woman who defied stereotypes and paved the way for future generations of jazz musicians." "The photograph, taken in a studio setting, showcases the contrast between the dark background and the brightly lit subject, drawing the viewer's attention to Mary Lou Williams' expressive face and her elegant attire. The image is a snapshot of a moment in time, yet it continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of jazz and the remarkable women who have shaped its history.
