Best.-Nr. 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
Best.-Nr. 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

1960Best.-Nr. 9446New York: Weston Associates 1960. Staplebound. Very good. Quarto unpaginated 24pp. illustrated. Very good in the publisher's stapled wraps with a thin area of dust-soiling to the top of the front wrap and some gentle creasing to the spine. Staples gently rusted but sound. A fantastically designed concert program for the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival Concert Tour. Within are profiles of Anita O'Day Thelonious Monk George Shearing and others. We could find very little material written about this concert tour though Newport Jazz Festival producer George Wein is known to have organized some tours involving some of the major performers at the storied festivals during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The actual Newport festival in 1960 was one of the most memorable - there were several riots mostly involving frustrated would-be concertgoers who were unable to secure tickets and fought with police in the small ritzy town of Newport. OCLC records no holdings of this program nor any other from a Newport Jazz Festival Concert Tour. A rare and significant piece of jazz history. Weston Associates unknown
1971Best.-Nr. 38867NY: ESP Disk 1971. Tabloid format 8 pp. printed on newsprint illustrated with a Gilbert Shelton character on the front. Paper tanned as would be expected with some loss to the folds and edges small light stain to middle front else a very good example. While we've had a few copies of the 1967 catalog and the more uncommon 'Special Complete Catalog" this one is new to us and were not aware of its existence until it threw itself over our transom. Though it originally existed to release Esperanto-based music starting with the release of Albert Ayler's Spiritual Unity ESP became the most important exponent of the burgeoning free jazz music scene of the time releasing records by such future greats as Sun Ra Frank Wright and Sunny Murray among others. Along with free jazz the label also produced music by Ed Sanders' band the Fugs the Lower East Side folk of the Holy Modal Rounders and the primitive proto-noise of the Godz. While never much of a commercial success for the musicians the label's philosophy of "The artists alone decide what you will hear on their ESP-Disk" led to the creation of a musical output that to this day wields a heavy influence.

1993Best.-Nr. 2249Copenhagen: JazzMedia ApS 1993. Hardcover. Good/good. Blue cloth hardcover with gilt spine lettering in dustjacket. A good copy with general wear at the board edges and crimping at the spine tips. Price erasure to the top of the front free-endpaper appears to be the only writing in the book.

Baker "is known for major innovations in cool jazz that led him to be nicknamed the 'Prince of Cool'" - a hard to find title. JazzMedia ApS hardcover
1970Best.-Nr. 4900n.p. 1970. Loose Photos. Very Good. Five 8x10 promotional Jazz drummer photos the 2 Kruppas and 1 Lewis are gelatin silver and the 2 Bellson are halftones all variously inscribed and / or signed. The signature on the Lewis photo is signed in the photos' negative and thus not "live" ink - as are the other four "live ink" autographs in this collection. The company "Long & McQuade" is the largest chain of musical instrument retailers in Canada and as we are unsure who Lou Williams Jr. & Sr. are assume that they may have been music store owners. One of the Louie Bellson photos has "March 18 / '79 at Convocation Hall / Toronto Ont." written in blue ink on the verso. All photos a touch age toned w. only minor wear. A nice collection of drummer signed photos showcasing three of Jazzdom's most legendary and time-honored players. unknown
