1930190332New York: The Savoy Ballroom 1930s. Chic memento of Harlem's greatest nightspot From the collection of Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts with his posthumous bookplate: a striking souvenir of the fabled Savoy "the World's Greatest Ballroom" situated on Lenox Avenue. Langston Hughes surely had it in mind when in "Juke Box Love Song" he referred to "Harlem's heartbeat". Entirely unsegregated from the beginning this was a ballroom not a night club - they came to dance. The long narrow dance floor known to the regulars as the "Track" was not a place for the faint-hearted it was every bit as competitive as the Savoy's dual bandstands where the Battles of the Bands or Cutting Contests took place and for which the venue became famous. Through the 1930s until his unfortunately premature demise in 1939 the great Chick Webb the original King of Swing held sway with his hard-driving band defeating all comers of the stature of Benny Goodman and Count Basie the winners chosen by the dancers of course. The folder contains the original table photograph which shows a booth with four African-American couples in their thirties and a couple of hangers-on outside the booth all of them sharply turned out and ready for a good time. And - if the debris on the table is anything to go by with at least one champagne bottle in evidence - on their way to having one. This is a wonderfully evocative piece of jazz ephemera from the Charlie Parker and Night Club Memorabilia collection of Norman R. Saks. Pink card photo-folder 238 x 278 mm superb graphic of a dancing couple to front panel. Original silver gelatin table photograph in the window mount. A little rubbed and soiled some minor stripping at the spine and lower edge of the front panel short split to the window-mount the photograph slightly mottled. Ken Vail The Norman R.

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.
