An intriguing collection of original photographs of jazz performers, various places, 1947-1962, including  71 photographs, at least 9 of them including Armstrong and most of the remainder showing jazz shows or jazzmen including Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Jack Teagarden, and Jelly Roll Morton (later prints) and many others. 32 are approximately 8 x 10 inches (20 x 25 cm) in black and white. 8 of them are about 7 x 5 inches (18 x 12.7 cm); 22 are black and white snapshots in smaller formats; and 10 are color snapshots. 16 of the smaller black and whites apparently show the Eureka Brass Band of New Orleans marching in performance near the White House, May 1962. Generally minimal to minor wear. Together with: Reel to reel tape, quarter inch, in mismatched box with parts marked "L. Armstrong--concert--master, Music Hall, Houston, 10-24-65" and "Spanier, McKenzie / Ewell"; we have not listened to the contents. And together with: Issue of "Jazz Record" magazine with Armstrong on the cover, February 1947.

Provenance: collection of jazz collector and disc jockey Leon David Vogel (1914-2001). From the 22 April 1950 issue of Billboard: "Leon D. Vogel's Jazz Parade has been spotted as a Saturday feature on WFAX, Falls Church, Va. Vogel will stick to 'strictly traditional jazz and the great early blues singers, no bop or modern.' Most of the disks will be culled from his own collection."
