EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled 'Portrait of Shelly Manne' by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, dates back to the late 1940s. The image captures the essence of the golden age of jazz, a time of creativity and innovation in American music. Shelly Manne, a talented drummer, is depicted lying down on a couch, surrounded by members of the Stan Kenton Orchestra. The therapeutic pose, which was believed to aid in relaxation and focus, was a common practice among jazz musicians during this era. Manne's intense gaze and the confident posture of his bandmates suggest a deep connection to their music and the shared experience of creating it. The image, taken at a time when jazz was a powerful cultural force in the United States, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this art form and the people who brought it to life. The photograph, with its timeless composition and striking contrast, invites viewers to explore the rich history of jazz and the lives of the remarkable individuals who shaped it." "The image, taken by the esteemed photographer William Paul Gottlieb, is a poignant reminder of the human element behind the music. The two men and two women in the portrait, dressed in formal attire, embody the diversity and camaraderie that defined jazz bands of the era. The photograph, with its intriguing backstory and historical significance, is an invaluable addition to any collection of jazz-related art or cultural heritage. The image, taken as a film negative, has been expertly preserved and is available in various sizes and formats for personal use and display." "The Portrait of Shelly Manne by William Paul Gottlieb is a rare glimpse into the world of jazz during the 1940s, a time of great change and innovation in American culture. The image, with its timeless composition and evocative storytelling, is a must-have for jazz enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in the history of American music and culture.
