Jazz literature collection on offer

[Serial_Apologist]

A friend informs me he is having a clear out, including "the first 100 issues of The Wire plus assorted Downbeats for sale. £60. Please tell anyone who may be interested".

PM me if interested.

Need a break from my studies.

Still a novice in this music, so never heard of Slim Gaillard (sorry, to you experts).

By pure accident, came across this extremely entertaining way of playing the piano (around 2 mins in).

That was great, Mario. You might enjoy his surreal version of ‘How High The Moon’:

Aaaarghh!

I’ve just realised that I have hijacked (unintentionally, m’lud) SA’s OP.

Serial Apologist, I am so very sorry. In my ignorance I should’ve post my silly contribution on the “What Jazz are you listening to now” thread.

My most abject apologies, SA. I had thought about deleting my own post, and moving it appropriately, but that would make both your and Jazzrook’s reply redundant.

To all visitors to this thread, please ignore my post 2, and concentrate fully on SA’s post 1, offering a “Jazz literature Collection” of great joy and wonder!

Sorry SA.

No need whatever to apologise, Mario!

Have you had any enquiries regarding this S_A? I contacted a local jazz dignitary of my aquaint who informed me they received regular enquiries of this nature from "older" folks trying to downsize their collection of such material - and usally offered at no cost.

No enquiries as of last night, OG. I think my friend is a bit down on his uppers at the moment, and could do with some readies; possibly he's charging to cover for transportage or postage - I'd imagine he'd negotiate over the price. If you do know of anyone who might be interested I could PM you his email address.

I binned my old copies of The Wire ages ago. I think they woukd make interesting reading now ! Probably would feel as antiquated as Jazz Journal.
