Junior Mance began playing the piano at the age of five not receiving formal training until the age of eight and starting to play professionally during his early teens. He attended Roosevelt College in Chicago as a music major. In 1947 Mance left Roosevelt College to join Gene Ammons' band and began his recording career with Gene. He joined Lester Young in 1949 for almost two years and rejoined Ammons several months in 1951 before being drafted into the U. S. Army serving in the 36th Army Band at Fort Knox Kentucky along with Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. After his discharge from the Army in 1953 he became part of the house rhythm section at the Bee Hive Jazz Club in Chicago for a year accompanying musicians such as Charlie Parker Coleman Hawkins Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Sonny Stitt. In 1954 Mance joined and toured with Dinah Washington later working with Dizzy Gillespie before forming his own trio. Junior Mance was inducted into the International Jazz Hall of Fame in 1997 he continues to work in NYC and Japan. A really lovely group of important and uncommon signatures with a most excellent provenance. Four individual autograph album leaves from an album kept by pianist Junior Mance each archivally mounted framed and glazed together with a photographic portrait of subject accompanied by a similarly presented image of Mance himself with signature. Very good condition. unknown
