EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the essence of jazz bassist Chubby Jackson during the Golden Age of Jazz in New York City, circa November 1946. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, this image was originally published in Downbeat magazine. The photograph was captured on 52nd Street, the heart of Manhattan's jazz scene, where the city's best musicians gathered to perform and collaborate. Chubby Jackson, born Greig Stewart Jackson, was a key figure in the jazz world, known for his innovative approach to the double bass. His signature style, which incorporated elements of swing and bebop, set him apart from his contemporaries. In this portrait, Jackson exudes confidence and charisma, his gaze fixed on an unseen horizon as he holds his double bass, a symbol of his craft and passion. The photograph's composition is masterful, with Jackson positioned against a dark background, his silhouette framed by the warm glow of the nightclub's lights. The film negative captures the gritty texture of the nightlife scene, transporting us back to the 1940s and the vibrant energy of Manhattan's jazz clubs. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of jazz music and the artists who shaped its history. William Paul Gottlieb's photograph of Chubby Jackson is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American cultural heritage.
