1959 Newport Jazz Festival Souvenir Concert Program--Peterson Ellington Basie

Description

1959 Newport Jazz Festival Souvenir Concert Program--Peterson, Ellington, Basie, Kenton and others
A survivor--in remarkably good condition. Imagine the excitement of attending this festival in 1959--only the sixth year it had been held!
A who's who of jazz listed in the program--Oscar Peterson, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Stan Kenton, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and others.
Many articles round out the program by Leonard Feather, John Tynan and others--plus full bios for all performers.
Condition
:
Very good used condition. No dog eared corners, Center double page (map; verso is program pages) was pulled loose from the staples (presumably for navigation while at the Festival) and there is a little smudging on the first page of the schedule (p.32)--see photos of smudge and map. The rare typescript additions and changes to the program is pristine and included.
Shipping
:
All books and pamphlets are wrapped in clean wrapping paper, then sandwiched in cardboard and then preferably mailed boxed to avoid damage.
