1935190330New York: Savoy Ballroom 1935. Four Big Guns of Dance Music in a Dynamic Battle of Music From the collection of Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts: impossible to ignore handbill for a sensational "battle of the bands" at the celebrated Savoy Ballroom the scene of many such encounters but in this instance boasting a particularly stellar line up: Chick Webb "I'll Kill 'Em" Fletcher Henderson "I'll Murder 'Em" Fess Williams "I'll Slay 'Em" Teddy Hill "I'll Slaughter 'Em". The artwork certainly buttonholes the eyeballs: on the left four "big guns" blast out the names of the participants and on the right a mock-up of a newsstand headline declaims "EXTRA - 4 Blazing Bands Declare - JAZZ WAR - Breakfast Dance - All Night Sat. April 13th. 5 pm to 8am - 50¢ Admits You to the Musical Battle Sector". A flavour of the atmosphere of these famous sessions is captured by jazz historian Lewis A. Erenberg: "When the curtain came down on Benny Goodman's Carnegie Hall concert of 1938 the Count Basie band and many of the other musicians present raced uptown to the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem for the momentous battle of the bands with the Chick Webb Orchestra. 'That was one hell of a battle' recalled Buck Clayton Basie's trumpeter. 'All concerned were putting down some heavy swing' Webb's orchestra the house band at the Savoy all through the late 1930s and the winner of numerous battles against visiting hopefuls aimed its 'sensational whirlwind barrage chiefly at the ears and head with resounding arrangements'". A genuinely remarkable survival from the heyday of Swing advertising "Four Big Guns of Dance Music in a Dynamic Battle of Music" when "Hot Licks" were pitched against "Hot Piano" and "High Notes" went toe-to-toe with "Low Notes" - as the strapline says: "What A Fight!" From the celebrated jazz ephemera collection of Norman R. Saks. Handbill 210 x 280 mm. Printed on recto only in red and black. Neat ownership inscription in green ink of one "Chas Roy" straddling the printed name of Teddy Hill; remains of paper on verso where once pasted into an album short closed tear into lower edge general creasing and signs of handling overall light toning yet remarkably well preserved.
