réf. 22405The interview appeared in the July and August 1966 numbers of 'Crescendo' magazine London. The interview was published in two numbers of 'Crescendo' 'The world's most authoritative music magazine' founded 1962. The first part retitled 'Music & Moore Les Tomkins interviews “The Genuine Dud”' – was the leading article pp.18-19 of the July 1966 number of with Moore featuring on the cover. The second part was published in the following number August 1966 pp.18-19 and 25. Four items all in good condition with light aging. ONE: Carbon typescript of first part of interview with title replaced on publication: 'The Serious Side of Dudley Moore A Les Tomkins Interview'. 8pp 4to. On leaves of blue and yellow paper. The typescript appears to correspond to the published version other than a few minor stylistic changes and the correction of a few errors such as 'Maudlen' to 'Magdalen'. TWO: Carbon typescript of second part of interview titled 'More Music and Moore Part Two of the Les Tomkins interview with "The Genuine Dud"'. 8pp 4to. With ink notes indicating that one short passage should be moved and the correction of a typing error. THREE: Carbon of typed letter from 'Les' to 'Victor' i.e. Victor Graham the magazine's editor. 1p 12mo. In what is a covering note to Item One Tomkins writes: 'This is about half of it. The remainder is equally good. He talks about working with the bands of Vic Lewis and Johnny Dankworth the hostility he encountered his development as an accompanist; speaks of Tony Coe as “the perfect hornman for our Trio”; Peterson's accompaniments; his experience in the States; his high regard for Pete and Chris detailing their qualities; the fun he had at the Establishment and how he misses it; his plans for using jazz more extensively in films; Beyond the Fringe; humour in music; putting jazz across to a wider public; shyness of musicians; the ego of Miles Davis; his dislike of the atmosphere of listening to jazz; his desire to work with a big band of his own.' He ends by asking when the second half should be used. FOUR: Carbon typescript titled 'ROUND & ABOUT'. 2pp 4to. Mostly taken up with a gig review beginning: 'Sonny Rollins unavoidably detained missed the first two days of his engagement. On the Monday this resulted in a welcome one-night stand being played by the Dudley Moore Trio.' Comparing the gig with a previous engagement at Ronnie Scott's the review comments on Moore's 'microphone prescence today' 'hilarity caused by the funny voices he is expected to adopt between tunes' and his 'accomplished' and 'irresistibly groovy' piano playing. Moore 'brought off a "first" at the club - with his falsetto singing of an old English madrigal'. Two other reports: the first one a short item on Sonny Rollins' music for the film 'Alfie'; the second on Tubby Hayes being 'well in evidence on the London scene again' with details of his 'new quartet'. The material comes from an archive of typescripts by Tomkins of his Crescendo contributions including interviews with Louis Armstrong Sonny Rollins Bud Freeman Stan Tracey Erroll Garner Stan Kenton Quincy Jones Joe Turner Tubby Hayes Stan Getz. The interview appeared in the July and August 1966 numbers of 'Crescendo' magazine [London]. unknown
réf. 22406The interview appeared in the April 1964 number of 'Crescendo' magazine London. The interview – retitled 'Duke looks back – and forward in an interview with Les Tompkins' – features on pp.6-7 of the April 1964 number of 'Crescendo'. Sammy Davis Jr features on the cover with the announcement 'NOT A WORD ABOUT THE BEATLES!' Three items the typescript of the interview and two accompanying pieces one not used. All three in good condition lightly aged. ONE: Carbon typescript titled 'That's where the tailoring comes in Duke Ellington talks to Les Tomkins'. 6pp 4to. On six leaves stapled together at a corner. Of particular interest in this typescript is the following passage – suppressed in the published version – in which Ellington names Jimmy Forrest as one of his imitators: 'we've had people like Jimmy Forrest – who took a couple of pages out of our book wrote a number and called it something else. It became the biggest thing since “St. Louis Blues”. And that's “Night Train” - you know from “Happy Go Lucky Local”'. In a couple of instances the typescript appears closer to Ellington's voice than the published version. It features the Americanism 'specialty' rather than the published 'speciality'; and has the following passage which was recast for publication: '… and as the refreshments would take over and he would roll of the piano stool – why they would call in the soda jerker i.e. Ellington to come and play the piano.' The published version reads: 'As the refreshments took over and he rolled off the piano stool they'd call in the soda jerker to play the piano.' Other changes are relatively minor: 'Some people don't like to have to – what is it … to follow something they are not familiar with' printed as 'Some people don't like to have to apply themselves. … to follow something unfamiliar'; 'Then you don't have to worry about how many drinks you take' printed as 'Then they don't have to worry about how many drinks they take'; 'the English audience has' printed as 'the British audiences have'; 'is a thing which is rare' printed as 'is rare'. In the typescript the preamble to the article ends rather lamely 'However here are some of his interesting utterances about:' this is replaced in the printed version with 'But the printed words alone have their own value. – L.T.' In addition the published version exhibits a few minor editorial changes such as the correction of 'fit' to 'fitted' and 'less notes' to 'fewer notes'. The typescript has the following headings: 'His jazz beginnings' 'When he was a fixer' 'The men in the band' 'Billy Strayhorn' 'Their writing approach' 'Ellington imitators' 'His view of the present band' and 'His view of the future'. These are replaced in the published version by 'Smart' 'So loud!' 'Cutting' 'Renaissance' and 'Protection'. TWO: Carbon typescript headed: 'The Duke presents a bouquet to our audiences'. 1p 4to. Published in a box at bottom left of first page of interview under the title 'An Ellington bouquet'. THREE: Carbon typescript of one-sentence quotation from Ellington under title 'Duke Ellington's comments on Crescendo'. 1p 4to. Reads: 'I think it's wonderful reading. And it's very exciting thrilling – interesting mainly – and enjoyable.' This endorsement does not appear to have been used by the magazine. The material comes from an archive of typescripts by Tomkins of his Crescendo contributions including interviews with Louis Armstrong Sonny Rollins Bud Freeman Stan Tracey Erroll Garner Stan Kenton Quincy Jones Joe Turner Tubby Hayes Stan Getz. The interview appeared in the April 1964 number of 'Crescendo' magazine [London]. unknown

1925réf. List3672New 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. 1 “Ethel Waters Is Featured In New Plantation Revue” The New York Age June 20 1925 6.

Original limp leather 3-ring binder gilt lettering stamped on front cover ink lettering & association of Otto F. Schumann on front cover some soiling dustsoiling edgewear still VG exemplar. This Jazz Age weaving manuscript notebook complete with weave formation design plates fabric samples and instructions offer a remarkable and invaluable artifact of how a young American textile designer and weaver received training at the famed Philadelphia Textile School now Philadelphia University during the 1920s.

The extensive manuscript notes detail the loom instructions how many lines are required composition and more in producing the assorted effects. Because of the poor quality of United States textiles exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition in 1876 the Philadelphia Textile Manufacturers pushed for a formalized vocational school to train weavers designers and textile workers. In 1884 it became part of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art with 81 students enrolled by 1885 and by 1894 the School of Textiles added a Department of Wool Carding & Spinning and a Department of Cloth Finishing and Design. By the 1920s the Philadelphia Textile School was offering extensive three-year textile courses chemistry and dyeing courses as well as design courses in cottons woolens worsteds silks Jacquard design and more. Schumann 1906-1967 was the son of Hugo Schumann founder and owner of the Maid Hosiery Mills in Reading PA through the opening decades of the 20th century for whom he worked with until after World War II as designer and sales executive.

Jazz Journal issues 1948 document postwar British jazz culture as readers collectors critics and musicians rebuilt access to American jazz after wartime disruption and expanding record scarcity.

These issues support research into jazz reception in the United Kingdom transatlantic music journalism record collecting racialized cultural admiration and the postwar circulation of African American musical authority through British print culture. Jazz Journal. Volume 1 Nos. 1-3 5-6 8-9. London: J.J. Publications May-November 1948. Seven issues each approximately 12 pages in pictorial wrappers. The run includes the May June July September October and November 1948 issues with one additional issue represented by number rather than month in the supplied description and contains record reviews discographies artist profiles editorials criticism and jazz news. The premier issue opens with Traill's editorial appeal to jazz readers recalling that "Even in those far-off days between the two wars when paper was to be had for the asking and printers' costs didn't resemble a millionaire's hotel bill it was always a dubious endeavour" and closing with the hope that readers would see "a new issue of JAZZ JOURNAL on the first of each month for many years to come." Contents cited in the supplied description include "Make Way for Dixieland or Return to Sanity" a Thomas Waller discography a September 1948 appreciation of Hoagy Carmichael with signed portrait cover and Hugues Panassié's November essay "Count Basie and the Blues" which argues that "Count Basie knows how to play the blues as well as it seems possible to do so on the piano." Cover portraits include Louis Armstrong Nellie Lutcher Count Basie and Humphrey Lyttelton placing African American jazz innovators alongside British revivalist musicians within a magazine aimed at a postwar readership hungry for recordings biographical knowledge and critical guidance. Traill Sinclair ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1 No. 1. London: J.J. Publications 1948. The opening issue establishes the magazine's postwar purpose through Traill's editorial address to jazz enthusiasts and its promise of sustained monthly criticism. Its contents including revivalist commentary and discographical attention to Thomas "Fats" Waller show the early publication's effort to organize jazz knowledge for British readers dependent on print mediation and record collecting. 2 Traill Sinclair ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1 No. 2. London: J.J. Publications 1948. This issue continues the magazine's early program of criticism record commentary and performer-centered coverage for a readership attentive to American jazz and its British reception.

Jazz Journal. Vol. 1 No. 3. London: J.J. Publications 1948. The third issue forms part of the magazine's initial attempt to stabilize a postwar jazz readership through recurring reviews essays and documentation of recordings and artists. Its position in the first volume is useful for tracing how British jazz criticism developed a regular periodical form in 1948. 4 Traill Sinclair ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1 No. 5. London: J.J. Publications 1948. This issue continues the first-year sequence with the supplied description emphasizing the magazine's mix of artist portraits discographical writing and critical essays. The issue contributes to the archive's broader value as evidence of how British jazz readers encountered American performers through images reviews and commentary. 5 Traill Sinclair ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1 No. 6. London: J.J. Publications 1948. The September 1948 issue features an appreciation of Hoagy Carmichael with a signed portrait cover connecting jazz readership to popular song composition and the American music industry. Its treatment of Carmichael alongside coverage of African American jazz performers demonstrates the publication's wide understanding of jazz-adjacent culture in the late 1940s. 6 Traill Sinclair ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1 No. 8. London: J.J. Publications 1948. This issue belongs to the later portion of the inaugural-year run and continues the magazine's regular pattern of record culture criticism and performer documentation.

Publications 1948. The November issue includes Hugues Panassié's "Count Basie and the Blues" a critical essay distinguishing blues feeling and phrasing from commercialized improvisation.

Moderate soiling and creasing to wrappers occasional spine chipping intact stapled bindings delicate covers and vivid photographic contrasts good overall. Substantial inaugural-year run of a long-lived British jazz periodical preserving the early critical vocabulary through which postwar British readers studied African American jazz swing-era performers blues expression and record collecting. unknown
