Evidently unrecorded Japanese guide to popular jazz music the first half almost entirely in Japanese the latter half bilingual primarily in Japanese and English. Includes the music for classics by Jerome Kern like "Ol' Man River" and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man"; Romberg and Hammerstein's "Lover Come Back To Me"; Moises Simons' Cuban rumba foxtrot "The Peanut Vendor"; instantly recognizable classics like "Blue Moon" and "La Cucaracha"; and songs by Mabel Wayne and Irving Berlin. The compilation also includes songs in Spanish French and German accompanied by its Japanese translation. A fascinating and beautiful little guide documenting the rise in popularity of Jazz music in Japan and Tokyo in particular issued between the devastating earthquake of 1923 and the beginning of World War II. The import of Jazz to Japan was first heralded with the rise in trans-Pacific luxury liners. A Japanese version of "My Blue Heaven" reproduced here became available as early as the 1920s and the popular 1929 Japanese film "Tokyo March" employed Jazz in its soundtrack. The genre was popular enough that Columbia and Victor records formed subsidiary companies in Japan. The popularity of jazz in Japan continues to this day touted by one of the country's most prominent public and literary figures Haruki Murakami who first opened his Jazz club right out of college after falling in love with the genre at an Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers show in Kobe in 1964. No copies of this work located in OCLC as of June 2025. References: "How Japan Came To Love Jazz" online interview with historian E. Taylor Atkins author of "Blue Nippon" "Jazz Messenger" by Haruki Murakami available online. Symphony Publishing Company unknown

Original advertising handbill promoting the event at Philadelphia's Alcazar Ballroom Friday April 30th 1937.

On the verso is "An Open Letter to the Dance Lovers of this City" touting the group as "America's Greatest Rhythm Band." After winning first prize at the famed Apollo Theatre's Amateur Night in 1934 at the age of seventeen Ella Fitzgerald was soon introduced to Webb and joined his band the following year.

An excellent evocation of the height of the Swing Era. Pi Xi Fraternity unknown

1924réf. 139822London: Published Privately at the Savoy 1924. First and only edition one of 1000 copies issued as a "first birthday" celebratory publication; scarce particularly so in the fragile glassine jacket. Loosely inserted in this copy is a slip printing soprano Luisa Tetrazzini's birthday wishes in green. The Savoy Orpheans were formed by former army bandmaster Debroy Somers in 1923 and were resident at the Savoy Hotel until contractual wrangles between W. F. De Mornys entertainments manager at the Savoy and the hotel company led to the orchestra disbanding on New Year's Eve 1927. During their four year tenure the Orpheans were among the cream of British dance bands and "patterned their instrumentation arrangements and classy presentations upon Whiteman's model" Baade p. 25. This attractive publication was printed at the Baynard Press which "employed highly skilled craftsmen. and printed many of London Transport's pictorial posters. the Baynard Press was amongst the largest and most technically accomplished printing firms in Britain" Science Museum. Library Hub locates only the British Library copy among British and Irish institutional libraries; WorldCat adding another copy at Rutgers University New Jersey. Square octavo pp. 16.
