A propos de cet article

A beautiful copy of the scarce first printing of the true first edition - an early publication by independent publisher Allison and Busby. Illustrated by the author with 14 evocative monochrome portrait photographs. ***Near fine in orange-red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are lovely and clean, having been protected by the dustwrapper, and the gilt is still nice and bright. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. Page block edges clean, including the top edge. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine, with no previous ownership inscriptions. The mustard-yellow endpapers are clean - just very light offsetting, and the interior pages are also clean - printed on high-quality art paper. ***In a near fine monochrome illustrated dustwrapper, which is complete and undamaged, and which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed dual price of £1.50 / 30s. No areas of loss and no serious creasing - just some very light rubbing and creasing to the edges. The white back panel is surprisingly bright and clean. ***167 pages including a 3-page Index at the back of the book. 224mm x 140mm. ***'Valerie Sybil Wilmer (born 7 Dec 1941) is a British photographer and writer specialising in jazz, gospel, blues, and British African-Caribbean music and culture. Her notable books include "Jazz People" (1970) and "As Serious As Your Life" (1977), both first published by Allison and Busby. Wilmer's autobiography, "Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This: My Life in the Jazz World", was published in 1989'. ***'Wilmer's first book, "Jazz People", was one of the first books published by Margaret Busby at Allison & Busby in 1970 and is now often referred to as one of the "three or four finest books ever written on jazz" (subsequently issued in the US by Da Capo Press). It features interviews with American musicians who include Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Art Farmer, Babs Gonzales, Jimmy Heath, Billy Higgins, Thelonious Monk, Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor, Clark Terry, Big Joe Turner and Randy Weston, and as Kirkus Reviews noted: "The emphasis is on the people in these fourteen interviews, the personalities behind the jazz, their moods, ambitions, influences---The author observes well and the profiles are short and sharp with high notes for the buff.' ***'Fundamental to Wilmer's work is her keen understanding and insightful expression of the disparity between male and female music writers. Entering this world in 1959, she understood that writing about music was “something that men did. There was a penalty to pay for being a woman in a man’s world [and] for a white woman to be concerned with something that Black people did meant to experience additional pressure. "Through African-American music Wilmer was able to immerse herself in realities that would have stayed undiscovered had she remained within the margins of her comfort-zone. For her, these experiences were fundamental and life-changing. Her perseverance in this difficult sphere and her devotion to the music led her to a path of self-discovery and personal growth, and the understanding of "the potential for personal change that exists in us all." Through her writing about music, Wilmer was able to provide a voice to a transatlantic, multicultural, and multiracial dialogue, delving into a "part of history, or [what] might very soon be."' (Wiki) ***A scarce first printing of the true first edition of this significant study of the jazz scene, in unusually near fine condition, in a near fine dustwrapper. An uncommon title in any printing now - this being the true first printing makes it scarce and desirable. A collector's copy. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
