1937171091Paris: c.1937. Jazz à la parisienne From the collection of Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts with his posthumous bookplate: a delightful and highly unusual illustrated "prospectus" of the requisites for running a successful bar in Paris in the late 1930s. First and foremost you'll need "un très bon pianiste nêgre" along with "2 barmaids" and of course "2 ou 3 nêgresses à laisser vagabonder dans le bar". There then follow three pages that offer pen portraits of various artists that you might like to include on the bill along with their contact details. These include "acteurs animant la soirée ou la nuit": character actor and singer Yves Deniaud 1901-1959 Neapolitan sinti jazz guitarist Henri Crolla 1920-1960 "a travaillé avec Djingo Rainart sic du Hot-club de France" "Trois Jeunes - chanteurs s'accompagnant à la guitare et à la flute" including another well-known actor Guy Decomble 1910-1964 and the photographer Pierre Jamet 1910-2000 a close friend of Robert Doisneau and Willy Ronis.

After the Liberation Leduc a native of Montmartre set up Le Bar Vert on the rue Jacob "the first café-restaurant to play American music" Cowan & Steward p. 234. Our unidentified artist concludes by remarking "We can find for you absolutely everything that you could possibly need elephants - naked ladies - non naked ladies - a 'bus - &c. &c. - whales".
