Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "high fidelity 360 sound" (mono) Columbia CL 892, near-mint vinyl in a good-only cardboard jacket with a strip of tape along top edge, still showing its small original "98" price tag. The back-up trombonists include Urbie Green and Jimmy Cleveland, bass trombonists Bart Varsalone and Tom Mitchell, with Hank Jones piano, Milt Hinton bass, and Osie Johnson drums. J.J Johnson and Kai Winding here introduce the trombonium, an upright valve trombone, as the octet offers Dizzy Gillespie's "Night in Tunisia," "The Continental," "You're My Thrill," and Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Surrey With the Fringe On Top," others. (Although small photo to bottom of rear panel surely indicates J.J. Johnson was of the African-American persuasion -- as we suspect Jimmy Cleveland was, as well -- Arnold Roth's art to front panel for some reason shows eight white guys. No one at Columbia could have picked up the phone and said "Yo, Arnie, looks great, but we need a few little adjustments, here"?) Reduced from $12. Cover art by Arnold Roth (illustratore). …

Original art for an unused poster design for the 1959 film. A graphite, black pencil, ink, and white paint on paper mock-up for an unused design for Bert Stern's classic 1959 jazz documentary, created by an unidentified artist, likely for the film's production company, Galaxy Productions. A handsome, minimal abstract design, befitting jazz-oriented design of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The legendary 1959 jazz documentary, set at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island, shot in high style by commercial and fashion photographer Stern, and featuring performances by Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Dinah Washington,and Eric Dolphy, among others. Stern's naturalistic approach to shooting a festival event, the first of its kind to be attempted on such a scale, influenced and predicted by several years many similar documentaries, such as Monterey Pop" (1968), "Woodstock" (1970), and "The Concert for Bangladesh" (1972). 16 x 18.25 inches, archivally framed to 17.75 x 20 inches. Very Good plus, with light toning overall and staples and staple holes at the corners. National Film Registry.…
