1948réf. BK0120Atlanta Georgia: Atlanta Music Club 1948. Illustrated program 18 pp. 10 ¾ x 8 ½ inches stapled in illustrated blue wrappers. Near fine condition. A program for Paul Whiteman's all-Gershwin concert at Atlanta's Municipal Auditorium on November 6 1948 built around Whiteman's close place in the history of Gershwin's concert music. Whiteman had commissioned Rhapsody in Blue and conducted its celebrated first performance at Aeolian Hall in 1924 with Gershwin himself at the piano. More than two decades later and eleven years after Gershwin's death Whiteman returned to the composer's work with this touring "musical tribute." The program ranges across Gershwin's popular and concert works opening with an instrumental medley of "Swanee" "Do It Again" "Of Thee I Sing" "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "Love Is Sweeping the Country." Vocalists Eugenie Baird and Russell McIntyre appeared alongside guitarist Mike Pingitore and saxophonist Al Gallodoro while pianist Jane Anderson performed a variation on "I've Got Rhythm" the first movement of the Concerto in F and as the finale Rhapsody in Blue. The booklet also contains a photographic portrait of Whiteman and several essays reviewing his career and his role in the development of American popular and concert music including "The Dean of Modern American Music" and "Tops' Moves to the Blue." .

1948réf. 223231948. 1 Traill Sinclair ed. 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. Founded by Sinclair Traill in 1948 Jazz Journal became a major English-language jazz periodical; its inaugural year placed African American performers blues aesthetics revivalist debate discography and record reviews at the center of British jazz criticism. 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. It belongs to the first sequence of issues issued after the May 1948 relaunch from Traill's earlier Pick Up whose final issue preceded the first Jazz Journal in May 1948. 3 Traill Sinclair ed. 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. In the context of the seven-issue group it helps show the durability of Traill's monthly editorial project beyond the launch months. 7 Traill Sinclair ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1 No. 9. London: J.J. 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. Its attention to Basie foregrounds African American musical authority within British jazz discourse and gives the archive direct relevance to the study of blues reception swing-era memory and postwar criticism. 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
1950réf. 223221950. Complete 1950 run of Jazz Journal Vol. 3 Nos. 1-12. London: L. M. Publications 1950. Complete run of the 1950 volume. Twelve issues with each issue around 20 pages. Black-and-white photo illustrations throughout. Printed paper wraps. Founded in 1948 by editor Sinclair Traill Jazz Journal became a critical platform for serious jazz criticism in Britain at a time when the country began appreciating the impact of African American musical innovation. This volume features twelve monthly issues each spotlighting legendary musicians in deeply reverent portraits: Louis Armstrong Baby Dodds Coleman Hawkins Fats Waller Earl Hines and others. The December cover has a Christmas theme. This archive is a window into Britain's postwar jazz awakening. The articles range from retrospectives to musicology and artist discographies. Floyd Levin's "The American Jazz Scene" captures the transatlantic tone of the journal mourning the death of Buster Wilson and lauding figures like Sidney Anderson and Kid Ory as vanguards of "authentic" jazz-framed as endangered in a postwar America increasingly seduced by commercialism. Meanwhile Derrick Stewart-Baxter's "Preachin' the Blues" traces rural-to-urban migration patterns in blues development analyzing Sleepy John Estes' discography and folk influences. The December issue features a full-page bibliophilic essay "A Case for Books" reviewing A Treasury of the Blues by W. C. Handy whom it names "the composer of the classic Memphis Blues and Joe Turner Blues" emphasizing the book's role in preserving "the true and historical survey of the blues." Taken together the essays discographies and image curation construct a coherent theory of jazz not only as music but as cultural heritage. Moderate and consistent soiling and creasing to wrappers; binding intact but some covers remain delicate. Occasional chipping at spine. Covers remain vivid with strong photographic contrasts. Overall good condition. A complete year's run of one of the earliest and most influential British jazz journals with signatures from leading musicians of the era such as Armstrong Dodds and Hawkins. unknown

This unusually well-preserved archive of a Roaring 20’s Jazz Orchestra musician and Band Leader in the Pacific Northwest reveals the exuberance and business success of this largely forgotten artist through his successful years before foundering during the Great Depression. Both scrapbooks open with clippings thank you and recommendation letters as well as dance broadsides and photographs during 1926 at the height of Lyle Lewis’s orchestra appreciation. Testimonials include B.J. Saad who owned the Garden Dancing Palace and stated “I have taken the Garden which is second to no other ballroom west of Chicago. That is why I have secured Lyle Lewis recognized as one of the best orchestra leaders on the Coast.” C.W. Craig of Lipman Wolfe & Co. department store extolls that Jazz music dance held at the Multnomah Hotel March 16 1926 that “I don’t think we have ever enjoyed better or more up to date dance music than that furnished by your splendid aggregation.” Broadsides and notices advertise the Lewis Jazz Orchestra playing the Grand Ball Room at the Masonic Temple Congress Hotel leading McElroy’s Oregonians at the McElroy’s Spanish Ballroom the Dessert Hotel Oasis near Spokane parties for Studebaker and more. One of the mounted letters includes a rather sad severance letter signed by Cole McElroy explaining the circumstances of Lyle Lewis’s leaving stating “I realise that you were a victim of circumstances. On account of the fact that you had a fine band organized. . . certain music masters of the theatre jobs saw fit to take your men away from you thereby breaking up your fine band and forcing me to make a deal for another organization.” McElroy 1888-1947 was known as “Pop” McElroy was a popular band leader who during the years before World War I and after played the Palm Gardens often and had great success in his McElroy Spanish Ballroom which opened in 1926 and then opened another Seattle McElroy Ballroom in 1928. Several TLS on letterheads include those for KXL Radio station KGW Radio Station and the KOIN Studio Director for The Portland News which played three nights a week on air for over six months. The many photographs capture the Lyle Lewis band joking around with their instruments on the road fully arrayed on stage in the Radio Station posing at various venues stages and even one as late as 1939 conducting the Lyle E. Lewis Dance Orchestra. The band included Cluet Mansfield formerly with Henry Halsted band William Webber on drums Eddie Scroggins & Frank Champion as sax players G. Berardinelli on Bass and also played dances at the Irvington Club Multnomah Athletic Club and for a while with the historic Congress Hotel in Portland which had been the City’s first reinforced concrete building erected during the Progressive Era and by 1924 expanded to 119 rooms with vibrant Jazz ballroom. The daily diaries for 1929 and 1930 show that Lewis regularly played at the Cotillion Hall now the Crystal Ballroom initially at $ 7.00 per night in 1929 and then steadily dropping to less than half by 1933. He writes about traveling for a gig in San Francisco with Mansfield in 1929 leaving Tuesday and arriving Wednesday Sept. 18 1929 driving 40 mph and getting 19 miles to the gallon with a drive made in 19 hours and 15 minutes. He played extensively at the Bungalow Club in Seaside OR which had opened originally June 19 1920 and for more than 25 years was the destination for the biggest names in the Big Band Jazz era including Lyle E. Lewis Cole McElroy Duke Ellington Bob Crosby Glenn Miller and tragically became connected with the death of Jimmie Lunceford who died from a heart attack just before playing his last set at the Bungalow after playing McElroy’s Ballroom in Portland 2 nights before. Lewis 1890-1948 was a popular Portland Oregon based jazz band & orchestra leader who managed to lie about his age and enlist at 15 in the Oregon National Guard Co. G 3rd Battalion served for three years and in May 1910 married Genevieve Franklin while working as salesman and musician before World War I Following the War he quickly became a successful band leader including successful stints with the Cole McElroy Spanish Ballroom Congress Hotel Multnomah Hotel Bungalow Garden Ballroom as well as the Coronado Hotel in California. As indicated by the daily diaries he maintained a fairly close relationship with his daughter Genevieve “Martha” but became largely estranged from his wife Genevieve living in separate rooming houses or hotels. Still in her position as a sales manager she managed to convince Meier & Frank to hire him as their house band for store functions and the restaurant while during the Great Depression he mostly worked for the US Forest Service mapping division while his show business largely disappeared. By 1943 he became the commercial agent for ACME Fast Freight where he worked as commercial agent until his death. This cataloguer could find no surviving recorded discography record for Lyle E. Lewis and his assorted incarnations although there are a few recordings for the Cole McElroy Band from 1926-1928 which most likely would have included him as band leader and musician. Lyle E.
