1959 Playboy Jazz Festival FRI Concert Ticket Count Basie Miles Davis & Others

Description

This auction is for an original ticket stub from the first Playboy Jazz Festival held at the Chicago Stadium on Friday, August 7, 1959 at 8pm. (The Festival had five different performances over Aug 7 - 9.) The festival was organized by Playboy Magazine. This Friday premiere was a benefit for the Chicago Urban League. This benefit included performances by Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Kai Winding, Dave Brubeck, Dakota Staton, and Joe Williams with Mort Sahl as M.C. With this ticket stub I'll include a photocopy of a newspaper ad for the concert and listing the above performers. This is a Main Floor ticket, which cost .50 back in 1959. The large ticket stub measures 2-1/4" x 3-1/8". The ticket stub is in good condition - there is a 3" diagonal crease on the right side - there is a 2" diagonal crease in the upper left - there is a 2" crease in the upper right - there is a 1" x 1/8" vertical shiny mark on the right side of the ticket thru the "GU" in "LEAGUE" - there are a few smaller creases - the corners are slightly rounded - there is a little wear along the bottom edge. A NICE TICKET STUB FROM A HISTORIC CONCERT! First class postage is .50.
