1924List3678New York City: Clarence Williams 1924. Folio measuring 12 x 9 inches 5 pp. With an attractive period style illustration by Sydney Leff with his printed signature in the lower right corner. Fine condition. A very scarce surviving example of the sheet music for "Cakewalking Babies from Home" a cornerstone early jazz-blues composition issued through Clarence Williams’s publishing enterprise at the moment when New Orleans–derived ensemble practice was reshaping American popular music. Written by Williams with Chris Smith and Henry Troy the piece bridges late ragtime syncopation and emerging small-group jazz textures. Though widely disseminated through performance and recording it appears to have circulated only sparingly as domestic sheet music.<br /> <br /> The song achieved lasting fame through the celebrated 1924 New York recording sessions by the Clarence Williams Blue Five Okeh 8256 featuring Eva Taylor vocal Louis Armstrong cornet Sidney Bechet soprano saxophone Clarence Williams piano and Buddy Christian banjo; a landmark early small-ensemble performance often cited for its dynamic Armstrong–Bechet interplay and its role in defining early jazz ensemble language.12 Circulating widely among classic blues singers vaudeville performers and musicians within Williams’s publishing network and the TOBA circuit the composition reflects the porous boundary between theatrical blues dance music and emerging jazz repertory in mid-1920s Harlem and Chicago. As noted in Smithsonian jazz educational materials “the roots of jazz are heard clearly… in ‘Cake Walking Babies from Home’â€.3<br /> <br /> Despite its well-documented performance and recording history institutional holdings of the sheet music itself appear extremely limited. We locate a single copy at the Stanley King Jazz Collection at Oberlin with none presently recorded in OCLC.<br /> <br /> 1 Brian Rust Jazz records 1897–1942 Arlington House Publishers 1978.<br /> 2 Tom Lord Jazz Discography Lord Music Reference Inc. 1992.<br /> 3 “Act 3.

195628138Salem:: The Peabody Museum 1956. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy with glassine cover. Williams's narrative more like a memoir than a journal was written during his first residence at the Bay of Islands as US consul during 1842-1844. The journal is a gathering of odd facts and personal opinion. He describes the early white settlements of the North Island navigational aids for approaching harbors the character and customs of the Maori tribes the flora and fauna of the region native products of possible commercial value and the censurable behavior of American whaling crews he saw when he arrived. "There were innumerable grog-shops - those 'lowest depths of hell!' - and drunken sailors shambled from one to another creating mayhem in the streets. The Yankee whalers were nothing better than floating castles of prostitution swarming with women who had been sent on board by certain white residents of Kororareka - 'a covetous and malicious people malignant whisperers full of envy and every evil" The Peabody Museum, hardcover
