1941171093New York: Savoy Ballroom 1941 & 1942. The Goose Hangs High Over Harlem From the collection of Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts: a conspicuously uncommon pair of handbills for the celebrated Savoy Ballroom both advertising Labor Day celebrations that for the 1942 party featuring Cootie Williams and His Orchestra and the Savoy Sultans. The jive talk strapline of the day requires attendees to "Relax in Slacks Jump in Jumpers Swing in Ginghams Bounce in Pajamas". The sub-title of "The Goose Hangs High Over Harlem" derives from an old expression whose rather obscure meaning may have origins in the superstition that if geese were seen flying high then evil spirits were gone and good times were at hand. What may have been uppermost in the mind of the Savoy organisers however was Woody Herman's 1936 vocal version of the song of the same name also recorded by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis in 1958 as a "honker" with a tight bouncing groove. "Special events by Afro-American community associations and the booking of Latin bands sustained the variety of the Savoy ballroom's dances. Fancy-dress events were the one enduring feature of the original cabaret-style entertainment that remained popular enough to survive Perhaps the reason for this popularity was the opportunity that fancy dress provided Harlemites to indulge a sense of what seemed to be the 'exotic' such as Arabian Russian and Chinese nights or the annual Barn Dance on Labor Day Authenticity was not a great concern when attempting square dancing but complaints were voiced on occasions if real bales of straw were not used to decorate the ballroom!" Malnig p. 137. From the celebrated jazz ephemera collection of Norman R. Saks. Two handbills 190 x 135 mm; 240 x 148 mm. Printed on recto only both featuring the image of a rustic skyline harvest moon and barn labelled "Savoy Hay Station". Some creasing and light signs of handling but in very good condition.
