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.

11100Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Original black and white poster ca. 1960 with hand gouache coloring by the unidentified artist signed in blue ink by Louis Armstrong probably one of the largest signatures he ever signed and almost certainly the largest signed portrait of the great Satchmo in existence! Apparently obtained at the Morris Civic Theatre in South Bend IN in 1963. In a large recent wood frame under UV-plexiglass. Some creases to the poster but really in great shape overall. About 36 x 30 inches without the frame!<br><br><br />The artwork is very likely the work of celebrated jazz illustrator David Stone Martin. His work graced many of the Verve Mercury Clef etc. covers of the 1950s and the present example though apparently not from a published album is highly reminiscent of those Martin designed for Lionel Hampton Billie Holiday Count Basie. unknown books
