Portrait of Frankie Laine, Paramount Theater, New York, N.Y., between 1946 and 1948

The image appears to be a black and white photograph capturing a moment on a street in New York City. There are several individuals present, including two men standing prominently in the foreground. They seem to be engaged in conversation, as one man is looking towards another person who is off-camera. The backdrop features a cityscape with a theater and storefronts, suggesting an urban environment.

The image has text on it that reads "Portrait of Frankie Laine, Paramount Theater, New York, N.Y., between 1946 and 1948," which provides information about the subject and location of the photograph. The text suggests that this photo could be from the mid-20th century.

In the background, there is a crowd of people who are standing on the sidewalk, possibly waiting to enter the theater or simply going about their day. The overall atmosphere seems to be casual and everyday, capturing a snapshot of life in that era.

Dominating the foreground of the photo is a large sign for the musical "Golden Wings", featuring prominent names such as Billy Dee Wolfe and Ray Mckinney, along with band members. The theater's marquee serves as an advertisement for the show, drawing attention to its star-studded lineup.

Their presence adds a sense of life and activity to the scene, hinting at the lively atmosphere inside the theater. The vintage aesthetic of the photograph, along with the attire of the individuals in the photo, suggests that this image could be dated between 1946 and 1948.

Portrait of Illinois Jacquet, New York, N.Y., ca. May 1947

The image is a black and white photograph capturing three jazz musicians in what appears to be a recording studio. In the foreground, there's an individual wearing a hat and holding a saxophone, with two others standing behind them; one on the left plays a double bass and the other on the right holds a trombone. The musician on the right is also holding a microphone to his mouth, indicating they may be performing or recording music.

The text present in the image provides information about the subjects of the photograph: "Illinois Jacquet" is named as the lead saxophonist, and "New York, N.Y." indicates their location. The date "ca. May 1947" suggests that this photo was taken around that time, capturing a moment in the history of jazz music.

The overall composition of the image places the musicians centrally, with each musician occupying their own space within the frame. Their attire and the style of the photograph suggest that it could have been taken during a period when formal attire was common for musicians, although without more context or an understanding of jazz music history, it is difficult to pinpoint their specific role within the genre or the significance of this particular moment in time.
