Description

Rare 1948 traveling book from Bechet’s time with Jazz Limited

Innovative clarinetist and saxophonist (1897–1959) regarded as one of the greatest wind players in the history of jazz. American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada Traveling Book, 4 x 6, filled out and signed in blue ink on the inside of the front cover. In good condition, with moderate scattered toning, soiling, foxing, and rust spots from the staples that previously held the spine together. Issued on November 26, 1948, by Local No. 802 in New York, his book was used to record dues paid while performing out of town, and lists four entries detailing performances in Chicago and Philadelphia. A gritty relic from the jazz icon! Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
