DUKE ELLINGTON A Concert Of The Music Of Duke Ellington (1933 UK
28-page 12" x 9" programme for the concert held at the Trocadero
Cinema in Elephant-and-Castle, London on June 25, 1933. Not only is
this packed with rare photographs of a youngEllington & his band,
along with full concert notes, advertisements, words by Spike Hughes
& a chronological list of Duke compositions, but the cover also bears
the elegant, unfaded signatures of Duke himself [in black
pen] & Orchestramembers on the night, Fred Guy, Barney Bigard &
Cootie Williams [in pencil]. The cover is oversized, & naturally
weathered with age with some fraying & edge splits [a coupon is
cut-out on one page] yet remains fully intact with no pages loose from
the staples - a beautiful, historic item that simply begs to be framed)
