19609446New York: Weston Associates 1960. Staplebound. Very good. Quarto unpaginated 24pp. illustrated. Very good in the publisher's stapled wraps with a thin area of dust-soiling to the top of the front wrap and some gentle creasing to the spine. Staples gently rusted but sound. A fantastically designed concert program for the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival Concert Tour. Within are profiles of Anita O'Day Thelonious Monk George Shearing and others. We could find very little material written about this concert tour though Newport Jazz Festival producer George Wein is known to have organized some tours involving some of the major performers at the storied festivals during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The actual Newport festival in 1960 was one of the most memorable - there were several riots mostly involving frustrated would-be concertgoers who were unable to secure tickets and fought with police in the small ritzy town of Newport. OCLC records no holdings of this program nor any other from a Newport Jazz Festival Concert Tour. A rare and significant piece of jazz history. Weston Associates unknown
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 Williams’s publishing enterprise at the moment when New Orleans–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.<br /> <br /> 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 Armstrong–Bechet interplay and its role in defining early jazz ensemble language.12 Circulating widely among classic blues singers vaudeville performers and musicians within Williams’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 “the roots of jazz are heard clearly… in ‘Cake Walking Babies from Home’â€.3<br /> <br /> Despite its well-documented performance and recording history institutional holdings of the sheet music itself appear extremely limited. We locate a single copy at the Stanley King Jazz Collection at Oberlin with none presently recorded in OCLC.<br /> <br /> 1 Brian Rust Jazz records 1897–1942 Arlington House Publishers 1978.<br /> 2 Tom Lord Jazz Discography Lord Music Reference Inc. 1992.<br /> 3 “Act 3.

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 “The Lion†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 “musician’s musician†and an influential mentor to figures including Duke Ellington.1<br /> <br /> 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 “cutting contests†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 “another weird but musical sound… that I can still hear in my head.â€2<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> Titles include:<br /> <br /> “Between Sharps and Flats An Unusual Piano Soloâ€.

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 Club’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 club’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 American—including Calloway’s orchestra and many of the dancers—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 “Jim 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 1 Langston Hughes “When the Negro was in Vogue†in The Big Sea Alfred A.

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 “Dinah†the widely popular song composed by Harry Akst with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young here promoted as a “Featured Song Success†from The New Plantation Society’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 Vodery’s Parisian Orchestra Josephine Baker Bessie Allison Leonard Harper Jimmy Ferguson and the Plantation beauty chorus.1 “Dinah†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. <br /> <br /> 1 “Ethel Waters Is Featured In New Plantation Revue†The New York Age June 20 1925 6.

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 1897–1962 issued from his short-lived Omaha publishing venture during the first years of the national “jass band†craze. The cover advertises the piece as a “1917 ‘Jass Band’ Craze!†and features a photograph of Sophie Tucker’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.<br /> <br /> 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 publications—including pieces such as “The 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 “Sweet Georgia Brown†1925. The piece is respectfully dedicated to “Sophie Tucker’s 5 Kings of Syncopation†reflecting Tucker’s role as one of the most influential vaudeville singers of the 1910s. The interior advertisement reproduces a sample chorus of Pinkard’s hit “I’m a Real Kind Mama†another early jazz-age success associated with Tucker’s repertoire. Maceo Pinkard Music Publisher unknown

1960CAT206New York et al. 1960. Five 8 x 10 and two 5 x 7 inch gelatin silver prints with Bradley’s estate marks to versos. Excellent. Jack Bradley was a Cape Cod native who after graduating from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy fell in love with Jazz after seeing Louis Armstrong perform at the Boston Armory in 1956. In 1958 he moved to New York from Cape Cod and began dating Jeann Failows a member of Louis Armstrong’s inner circle. Through Failows Bradley gained access to Armstrong eventually becoming very close friends with the trumpeter and his inner circle. Bradley already had amassed a large collection of jazz material much related to Armstrong and he augmented his own collection by photographing Armstrong and his Jazz circle for the next decade. The bulk of Bradley’s collection now resides at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens. <br /> <br /> This collection is of seven photographs of jazz musicians from Bradley’s estate showing a wonderful window into the tail end of the Classic Jazz era. <br /> <br /> Photographs as follows:<br /> <br /> Willie Cook. 5 x 7 inches.
