EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Allen Eager, a jazz saxophonist in his prime, performing at the Arcadia Ballroom in New York City during the golden age of jazz, around May 1947. The image, created by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, beautifully encapsulates the energy and excitement of the jazz scene during this era. Eager, dressed in a crisp shirt and tie, is deeply engrossed in his performance, his intense gaze fixed on the brass tenor saxophone that rests comfortably in his hands. The saxophone, with its gleaming keys and curved body, seems to be an extension of the musician himself. The dimly lit ballroom, filled with the expectant gaze of the audience, adds to the sense of drama and anticipation. The Arcadia Ballroom, located in New York City, was a popular venue for jazz musicians during the 1940s, and this photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time. The image is a reminder of the importance of jazz music in American history and the contributions of musicians like Allen Eager to the genre. This photograph, shot in black and white using a film negative, is a valuable addition to any collection of jazz history or American culture. The image, taken during the forties, is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when jazz music was at the heart of American nightlife and culture.
