[Music – Early Jazz – Ragtime] Pinkard, MaceoBiblio.com

The Blue Melody. Society’s Latest Syncopated Walk. As First Played by Sophie Tucker’s Five Kings of Syncopation

1917List3667Omaha Nebraska: Maceo Pinkard Music Publisher 1917. Folio sheet music 11 x 14 inches 3 pp. plus cover. Light edge wear and small creases; a couple tiny tears to margins very good with strong color and excellent internal condition. An early jazz-era composition by the important African American songwriter Maceo Pinkard 1897â€“1962 issued from his short-lived Omaha publishing venture during the first years of the national â€œjass bandâ€ craze. The cover advertises the piece as a â€œ1917 â€˜Jass Bandâ€™ Craze!â€ and features a photograph of Sophie Tuckerâ€™s Five Kings of Syncopation the ensemble associated with the immensely popular vaudeville star Sophie Tucker during the years immediately preceding American entry into the First World War. Pinkard born in Blue Springs Nebraska emerged as one of the most important Black popular songwriters of the early twentieth century. As a teenager he worked in Nebraska theaters and dance orchestras before forming a publishing firm in Omaha while still barely twenty years old. His early Midwestern publicationsâ€”including pieces such as â€œThe Blue Melodyâ€â€”show him operating within the ragtime and syncopated dance music tradition that was evolving into early jazz. Within a few years Pinkard relocated to Chicago and New York where he became a major Tin Pan Alley figure later composing standards such as â€œSweet Georgia Brownâ€ 1925. The piece is respectfully dedicated to â€œSophie Tuckerâ€™s 5 Kings of Syncopationâ€ reflecting Tuckerâ€™s role as one of the most influential vaudeville singers of the 1910s. The interior advertisement reproduces a sample chorus of Pinkardâ€™s hit â€œIâ€™m a Real Kind Mamaâ€ another early jazz-age success associated with Tuckerâ€™s repertoire.

[Music – Jazz – Sheet Music] Williams, Clarence; Smith, Chris; Troy, Henry; Leff, Sydney [illustrator]Biblio.com

Cakewalking Babies from Home. Sheet Music

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 Williamsâ€™s publishing enterprise at the moment when New Orleansâ€“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. 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 Armstrongâ€“Bechet interplay and its role in defining early jazz ensemble language.12 Circulating widely among classic blues singers vaudeville performers and musicians within Williamsâ€™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 â€œthe roots of jazz are heard clearlyâ€¦ in â€˜Cake Walking Babies from Homeâ€™â€.3 Despite its well-documented performance and recording history institutional holdings of the sheet music itself appear extremely limited.

[Music – Jazz – Sheet Music] Smith, Willie "The Lion"Biblio.com

Collection of Ten Pieces of Original Sheet Music by Stride Piano Great Willie â€œThe Lionâ€ Smith 1937-1949

1949List3677New York City: Edwards Music Co. and others 1949. Ten pieces of sheet music see full inventory below. Overall Near Fine. A representative group of sheet music publications by Willie â€œThe Lionâ€ Smith one of the defining architects of Harlem stride piano and a central transitional figure between ragtime-era keyboard traditions and modern jazz performance. Active in New York during the formative decades of twentieth-century jazz Smith developed a powerful pianistic approach combining rhythmic authority harmonic sophistication and improvisational independence becoming widely regarded as a â€œmusicianâ€™s musicianâ€ and an influential mentor to figures including Duke Ellington.1 Emerging from the uptown New York scene shaped by pianists such as James P. Johnson and Luckey Roberts Smith helped define the stride style that grew from ragtime into a more expansive jazz idiom frequently performing at Harlem rent parties and participating in competitive â€œcutting contestsâ€ that tested virtuosity and improvisational skill. Smith also published sheet music producing piano solos novelty songs and popular compositions. Offered here are ten pieces reflecting the breadth of his printed output including collaborative songs and published folios issued by firms such as Leo Feist Edwards Music Co. Mills Music and Joe Davis. In his 1964 memoir Smith recalled hearing in everyday life â€œanother weird but musical soundâ€¦ that I can still hear in my head.â€2 Uncommon on the market we find only four first edition copies of Smith sheets available at the time of writing with most of these not available.

[Music – Jazz – Dance] Calloway, Cab; Stark, HermanBiblio.com

Cotton Club Program c. 1938. Signed by Cab Calloway

1938List3674New York City 1938. Small folio 12 x 9 inches 16 unnumbered pages. Signed boldly by Calloway on the front cover above the leg of the dancer in the illustration. Near Fine. An illustrated program for the Cotton Club from 1937/1938 with photographs of Cab Calloway the Nicholas Brothers and Mae Johnson in addition to information about the Clubâ€™s fifth edition of their Cotton Club Parade though this is a larger program. This copy documents the Midtown Manhattan iteration of the Cotton Club which moved from Harlem to Broadway and 48th Street in 1936 after the Harlem location closed following the Harlem riot of 1935. The new venue attempted to reproduce the earlier clubâ€™s formula of elaborate revues combining jazz orchestras chorus lines and specialty dancers in large-scale stage productions such as the Cotton Club Parade. While the performers remained overwhelmingly African Americanâ€”including Callowayâ€™s orchestra and many of the dancersâ€”the audience at the club continued to be largely white reflecting the segregated entertainment culture of the period. This arrangement had long been criticized by Harlem writers and intellectuals; Langston Hughes writing during the Harlem Renaissance famously described the Cotton Club as a â€œJim Crow club for gangsters and monied whitesâ€1 objecting to the racial restrictions placed on patrons even as Black musicians and dancers provided the entertainment. The Midtown Cotton Club continued presenting revues and broadcasts through the late 1930s but ultimately closed in 1940 bringing an end to one of the most famous nightclubs associated with the Harlem Renaissance and the swing era. Not in OCLC though see 951748496 for a shorter four page program for the fifth edition of the Cotton Club Parade published in 1938 and held at East Carolina University. 1 Langston Hughes â€œWhen the Negro was in Vogueâ€ in The Big Sea Alfred A.

Dinah. Featured Song Success in the New Plantation Revue Society’s Rendezvous of N.Y.

1925List3672New York City: Henry Waterson Inc 1925. Folio illustrated wraps. 5 pp. Fine condition. A striking Jazz Age sheet music issue and likely first edition for â€œDinahâ€ the widely popular song composed by Harry Akst with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young here promoted as a â€œFeatured Song Successâ€ from The New Plantation Societyâ€™s Rendezvous of N.Y. a Harlem revue-style theatrical production. The revue was advertised as an all-Black production reopening the Plantation Cabaret at 50th Street and Broadway featuring prominent performers including blues singer Ethel Waters alongside Will Voderyâ€™s Parisian Orchestra Josephine Baker Bessie Allison Leonard Harper Jimmy Ferguson and the Plantation beauty chorus.1 â€œDinahâ€ would go on to become one of the most enduring standards of the decade. Multiple versions were published in 1925 this one in June and though we are not able to establish definitive priority we guess that this is the first edition. Very scarce with three copies found institutionally at the Francis G. Spencer collection at Baylor University BYU and the British Library reference collection. 1 â€œEthel Waters Is Featured In New Plantation Revueâ€ The New York Age June 20 1925 6.
