First Edition/First Printing. 340 pages. Book-length account on subject. One of the most valuable books on American music and culture ever written in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run by Random House as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Wilfrid Sheed's "The House That George Built: With A Little Help From Irving Cole And A Crew of About Fifty". The Golden Age of American music not just American Song. Preceded only by Irving Berlin George more or less created and solidified the House along with an astonishing gathering of musical genuises a "high-point" feat never to be repeated in American history. Which "embodied all that was cool sexy and sophisticated in popular culture. For four glittering decades geniuses like Jerome Kern George Gershwin Cole Porter and Harold Arlen ran their fingers over piano keys enticing unforgettable melodies out of thin air. A dazzling authoritative history of the era that tripled the world's total supply of singable tunes. It all began when immigrants in New York's Lower East Side heard Black jazz and blues and it surged into an artistic torrent nothing short of miraculous. George Gershwin in his brief but incandescent career straddled Tin Pan Alley and Carnegie Hall charming everyone in his orbit. Half a century later Gershwin love songs like 'Someone To Watch Over Me' 'The Man I Love' and 'Our Love Is Here To Stay' are as tender and moving as ever. Sheed also illuminates the unique gifts of the great jazz songsters Hoagy Carmichael and Duke Ellington conjuring up the circumstances of their creativity and bringing back the thrill of what it was like to hear 'Georgia On My Mind or 'Mood Indigo' for the first time" Publisher's blurb. "Far and away our greatest contribution to the world's art supply during the so-called American Century" Wilfrid Sheed. An absolute "must-have" title for Wilfrid Sheed and George Gershwin collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and inscribed in red ink-pen on the front free endpaper by the author: "For Gale - Cheers Wilfrid Sheed". It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. Wilfrid Sheed's shaky-looking handwriting has always been like that idiosyncratic in its own way and NOT a sign of old age or arthritis. The recipient who is named was personally known to the British-born American immigrant-author. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know this is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and despite its imperfection slight crimping on the bottom hard board corner but it's there is still in especially fine condition: Every single internal page is clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws or are in subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant critics of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy. SEE ALSO MICHAEL FEINSTEIN "THE GERSHWINS AND ME" TITLE IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 1400061059. Random House hardcover

Porgy & Bess with separate suite of lithographs

2013CNAP098bSan Francisco: The Arion Press 2013. Hardcover. New. Kara Walker. Quarto 12-5/8 by 9-3/4 inches 136 pages. Prints editioned by Derrière L’Etoile Studio NYC under the supervision of Maurice Sanchez. Bound with red leather spine and printed cotton sides in slipcase. Edition of 400 numbered and signed copies for sale. Additional suite of four lithographs different from the images in the book signed and numbered by the artist. This artist book of Porgy & Bess the libretto by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin is the occasion for Kara Walker’s first series of lithographs. The book contains 16 lithographs with another four images not in the book in a separate portfolio. Porgy & Bess has been controversial since its premiere in 1935; Kara Walker is known for her controversial art on themes of race violence and American history. In her Artist’s Statement she says of the characters: "they’ve become archetypes of another no less grand drama that of: ‘American Negroes drawn up by white authors and retooled by individual actors amid charges of racism and counter charges of high-art on stage and screen in the face of social and political upheaval over generations." This fraught status along with memories of her mother’s reaction to a cast recording led her to render them in a straightforward way "…more an homage to the feeling of the music. And to that feeling I had as a child of a heavy atmosphere hanging around a timeless act of love." ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
