Incredibly Rare Charlie Parker Autograph — and Here, Signed Upon the Record From the Legendary First Dial Recording Session With “Yardbird Suite” and “Moose the Mooche” — With PSA/DNA COA
Fantastic and scarce record with a Charlie Parker autograph, on the original recording of “Yardbird Suite” (1003-A) and “Moose the Mooche” (1003-B) by Dial Records on 28 March 1946. Charlie Parker autograph is on the A Side label and reads in full, “Yours Parkerly (truly) Charlie Parker”. The recording session that produced this record is legendary in music circles, with Miles Davis devoting a whole chapter to it in his autobiography, revealing his unfavorable opinion of Dial Records founder Ross Russell and a bit of the story behind “Moose the Mooche,” allegedly based on Parker’s heroin supplier Emry Byrd, whom Davis claims actually received royalties for the song. The recording session that day was kept a secret (to prevent the hipsters who followed the musicians from interrupting their work) and numerous takes were recorded, as Parker insisted on musical perfection in the ensemble passages. The end result is considered among the finest in jazz stylings. The label lists the Charlie Parker Septet members who recorded that day: “Charlie Parker, alto sax; Lucky Thompson, tenor; Miles Davis, trumpet; Dodo Marmarosa, piano; Vic McMillan, bass, Roy Porter, drums; Alvin Garrison, electric guitar; Supervision — Ross Russell”. The label is rubber-stamped twice on each side with the date “Apr 30 1949”. The record, measuring ten square inches, has been professionally repaired from breaking into five pieces, with break lines only faintly visible. There are two small scratches on the A side and some patterning on the B side that may be an artifact of pressing. Among the finest of jazz collectibles ever at market. With PSA/DNA COA. Sold for $3,038.
Billie Holiday 8″ x 10″ Signed Photo, Dark Autograph
Billie Holiday signed glossy photo, “For Arthur / Stay Happy / With Leepee / always / Billie Holiday”. Publicity photo has “Associated Booking Corp.” printed at bottom, which represented Holiday beginning in the 1940s. Photo measure 8″ x 10″. Some creasing, overall in very good condition. Billie Holiday signed photos are quite rare. Sold for $2,940.
Lovely lot by American composer Cole Porter. Includes an autograph manuscript quotation signed of ”Night and Day” where Porter draws a stanza in bass clef under which he writes, ”Night + day, you are the one!” Porter also signs a matte photo portrait of himself, ”Sincerely / Cole Porter”. Porter wrote ”Night and Day” for the stage production of the musical ”Gay Divorce” starring Fred Astaire, and it gained widespread popularity with its inclusion in the film version. Some of the most acclaimed musicians in the world have covered the jazz standard, including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, U2, Ringo Starr, Etta James, and many more. Lore surrounds Porter’s inspiration for writing the atypically-structured piece, with one legend holding that he was moved by the Islamic prayer ritual in Morocco. Lot includes original envelope, from the Waldorf-Astoria in New York to a Miss Suzanna Lovett. Envelope is postmarked New York, 6 January 1953. Photo measures 2.75” x 3.75” and AMQS measures 3.5” x 2.5”. Discoloration from tape residue to the top of each, else fine condition. Sold for $2,772.
