Early biography of the great Satchmo,
1st edition of the premiere volume of the wonderful "Les Maitres du Jazz" series, signed and inscribed by the author, jazz critic and impresario Hugues Panassié, to his colleague Michel de Bry, "this new work from a too fertile author!" 8vo. 107 pp. Softcover in black and yellow illustrated wrappers. Scattered foxing to jacket and fore-edge, light dampstaining to outer margin of first approx. 30 pp, small tear upper left jacket spine, else fine.
An extraordinary association copy from the collection of the Parisian art dealer and collector Michel de Bry, who together with the legendary jazz impresario Hugues Panassié, organized the 1948 Festival International du Jazz in Nice. Panassié was the founding president of the Hot Club de France (1932), the man almost solely responsible for bringing jazz to France. In a changing world of jazz, Panassié was an ardent exponent of traditional jazz — strictly Dixieland — and famously dismissed bebop as "a form of music distinct from jazz." He harbored a particular love of style similar to that of Louis Armstrong from the 1930s and criticized West Coast jazz as inauthentic, partly because most musicians were white and also "sounded white." Despite his traditionalist views on the art form, his influence on the reception of jazz in France, and in shaping the cross-cultural dialogue between American and French musicians, cannot be overstated.
