1929List2808Sedalia Missouri 1929. 11 x 18 inches heavy cardstock. Manuscript note verso reads “Flor Alpino Vals / Vanderbeckâ€. Some staining and tears mainly marginal. Overall very good to excellent. An advertisement for a performance by the Original Eleven Clouds of Joy likely an iteration—of which there were many—of the popular Kansas City-based swing jazz band Clouds of Joy. The group was formed in 1921 by trumpeter Terrence Holder 1897–1983 and in 1929 was led by saxophonist Andy Kirk 1898–1992 and found success largely due to the arrangements and playing of Mary Lou Williams. They would tour the US through 1948 playing Kansas City-style jazz had the top song on the Billboard chart in 1938 and the first single to hit number one on Harlem Hit Parade in its inauguration in 1942 with the song “Take It and Git.†Contemporary newspaper accounts list the band as performing under the name “The Original Eleven Dark Clouds of Joy†during this period though the banner in the photograph here omits the word ‘dark.’ This poster represents an uncommon relic of the band’s early days touring regionally roughly a decade before they enjoyed national success. unknown

1938206505New York: Apollo Theatre 1938. Small punch-holes at upper margin where it may once have been secured in an album or notebook; slight abrasion to perimeter of holes otherwise about fine. Double-sided handbill 5-5/8 x 8-1/2 in. printed on both sides. Handbill advertising upcoming shows for the weeks of September 30 October 7 and October 14 in 1938 although the year is not printed. Headliners for the three weeks are Duke Ellington Blanche Calloway and Lucky Millinder. Although neglected today Blanche Calloway was the older sister of Cab Calloway and preceded him into show business providing an example for him with her own exuberant performance style. She was a true pioneer as a woman in a male-dominated field. She was in fact the first woman to lead an all-male orchestra which included some rising giants such as Ben Webster saxophone and Cozy Cole drums. Unable to make it far in the face of prejudice against Black and female performers she went on to a long an influential career in radio and as a dedicated advocate for Civil Rights.
