1947133392Prague: 1947-48 & 1952. Jazz in Cold War Czechoslovakia First and only editions of both of these short-lived fugitive publications. The complete run of Jazz offers a fascinating view of the times. A well-produced illustrated magazine that features reviews pen pictures and features on American and other western jazz performers the editorial direction changed radically following the coup d'état of 1948. The contrast between the final issue before the February 1948 putsch and the first issue afterwards reveals a complete reinterpretation of jazz Czech critic Ján Dalecký remarking that "In the introduction alone which was full of ideological terms we could see that the magazine had taken a 180 degree turn" reviews of Soviet performers began to proliferate. WorldCat locates a single run at the University of Delaware. It is doubtful that more than a handful of each issue of the 1952 journal would have been produced. Extremely uncommon no other copies traced it is impossible to say whether any more was ever produced. Highly risky samizdat published at a time when in Czechoslovakia merely singing jazz lyrics in English was against the law. Both issues heavily promote the AFN American Forces Network radio station providing the jazz schedule for upcoming week including the AFN Hit Parade programme and other western European broadcasts featuring jazz. Also includes a short story about a Czechoslovak family whose lives are utterly transformed by listening to AFN; reviews of current American jazz releases; interviews with Czech jazz musicians and reviews of local jazz-related concerts.

Five 8x10 promotional Jazz drummer photos the 2 Kruppas and 1 Lewis are gelatin silver and the 2 Bellson are halftones all variously inscribed and / or signed. The signature on the Lewis photo is signed in the photos' negative and thus not "live" ink - as are the other four "live ink" autographs in this collection. The company "Long & McQuade" is the largest chain of musical instrument retailers in Canada and as we are unsure who Lou Williams Jr. & Sr. are assume that they may have been music store owners. One of the Louie Bellson photos has "March 18 / '79 at Convocation Hall / Toronto Ont." written in blue ink on the verso. All photos a touch age toned w. only minor wear. A nice collection of drummer signed photos showcasing three of Jazzdom's most legendary and time-honored players. unknown

Signed ‘Marian’ and addressed to ‘Mr. Les Tompkins / 96 St Helier Ave / Morden / Surrey’. Writing after the publication of an interview with her by Tompkins in ‘Crescendo’ she begins: ‘Dear Les. Thank you & Tony also for the copies of Crescendo - Boy! I was verbose wasn’t I! I got a kick out of the record review & thought everyone was very complimentary. Wish Steve Race had been there! He always insists you can tell a female player and of course I think that is a lot of you-know-what’. ‘Like a real idiot’ she has lost his questionnaire and asks for another copy. ‘Big news. I’m going on a month’s concert tour with Benny Goodman. He called me & I decided it would be a fun thing to do - Red Norro will be going Jimmy Wyble on guitar & Steve Swallow on bass - Benny & I have been rehearsing together & he’s really inspiring to play with and very charming -’. She announces the return of Dill Jones ‘he reopened at the Gaslight Club for an indefinite stay’ and says that she and ‘Jimmy’ her husband ‘played the Central Plaza yesterday’: ‘it’s always a big reunion for us with our friends. Some sitters in were Jo Jones Tyrel Glenn Wild Bill Davision Cutty Cutshall & Louis Metcalfe.’ They have both ‘been busy writing lately and are beginning to get some good songs’. She hopes that ‘Sarah Vaughn will do another of my tunes in her next album. Quincey sic Jones took a couple with him when he left for England last week.’ 29 September [1963]; 41 Webster Street, Merrick, New York. unknown
