THE GOLDEN AGE OF JAZZ In the years between 1939 and 1948,
William Gottlieb's cumbersome Speed Graphic press camera captured the elusive moments of what he called "a golden age" of jazz--the era of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Mary Lou Williams, Eddie Condon, Charlie Parker, Nat King Cole. (Stokes)
He photographed jazz musicians performing in nightclubs, concert halls, recording sessions, and sometimes even in moments of relaxation backstage or in their dressing rooms.
