EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and electrifying performance of The Rocky Twins, a jazz duo who ruled the Parisian nightlife scene in the 1920s. The image, taken in 1927 at the prestigious Casino de Paris, showcases the siblings in their prime, exuding charisma and energy as they mesmerize the audience with their soulful music. The Rocky Twins, whose real names were Leon and Maurice Aronson, were an integral part of the vibrant jazz age in Paris, a city that became a mecca for artists, intellectuals, and hedonists seeking refuge from the mundane and the ordinary. The twins' act, which consisted of Leon playing the piano and Maurice singing, was a sensation, drawing crowds from all walks of life to the Casino de Paris, one of the most famous music halls in Europe. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties or the Jazz Age, was a time of cultural and social revolution. Paris, in particular, was a hotbed of innovation and creativity, with the arts, literature, and music scene flourishing like never before. The Rocky Twins were at the forefront of this movement, embodying the spirit of the era with their infectious energy, their daring fashion sense, and their groundbreaking music. This photograph is a testament to the magic of that bygone era, a time when the world seemed to hold its breath in anticipation of the next great artistic discovery. The Rocky Twins, with their unforgettable performances, left an indelible mark on the annals of jazz history, inspiring generations of musicians and performers to come.
