EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of jazz legend Arnett Cobb as he closes his eyes in deep concentration during a performance at a New York City nightclub in 1946. The photograph, taken by renowned jazz photographer William Paul Gottlieb, beautifully encapsulates the golden age of jazz on Manhattan's 52nd Street. Cobb, a prominent figure in the African American jazz scene, is seen holding his saxophone with a look of intense focus and emotion. The image, published in Downbeat magazine, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in America during the 1940s. The photograph was taken at a time when jazz clubs were the heart of the jazz world, providing a platform for musicians to showcase their talents and connect with their audiences. The image, a film negative, has been preserved in the prestigious Library of Congress, a fitting tribute to the enduring legacy of Arnett Cobb and the golden era of jazz.
