- Used
New York: A.S. Barnes for Perpetua Books, 1961. Closed tear to lower wrapper of Louis Armstrong volume, generally a bright set with the wrappers well preserved. Eleven volumes, 8vo. Each illustrated with black-and-white photographs throughout text. Original pictorial wrappers; preserved in the original publisher's shelfworn slipcase. A superb piece of 60s design, this boxed set of illustrated jazz biographies was originally published between 1959 and 1963. As Michael James writes in his volume on Miles Davis: "It is in the very nature of jazz that its essence cannot be caught on paper, and if it were not for the gramophone record the appeal of the music, though initially just as strong, would be far less widespread... For collector and critic alike, however, records have drawbacks other than the obvious ones. Prominent among these is the ease with which they allow the listener to imagine the music existing in a void, detached from the manifold forces, interior and exterior, which went into its making." This series attempted to fill that void, offering historical and musical background on eleven jazz masters, complete with discographies. The set includes Albert McCarthy on Louis Armstrong, Burnett James on Bix Beiderbecke, Max Harrison on Charlie Parker, Charles Fox on Fats Waller, Michael James on Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, G.E. Lambert on Johnny Dodds and Duke Ellington, and Martin Williams on Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver. Paul Oliver also contributes a volume on Bessie Smith, the lone queen among the kings. A near-fine set, in the original publisher's slipcase.

Description:
1899 Famous Violinists Classical VIOLIN MUSIC Paganini Mozart Handel Haydn BachHenry Lahee was a 19th-century music historian and writer known for his references on and biographical sketches of famous musicians. One of his best works was his 'Famous Violinists of Today and Yesterday' – a treatise recounting the music, lives, and careers of famous violinists.
In this work, Lahee covers numerous violinists but none more important than Niccolo Paganini. Even today, Paganini is considered to be one of, if not the most important violinists ever to play. His virtuosity, incredible composition, and concert performances placed him at the top of the musical world in the 19th-century.
Other notable composers and musicians featured in this work include Antonio Vivaldi, Arcangelo Corelli, J.S. Bach, Handel, Mozart, and Haydn.

London, Ewer & Co. [185???] Overstamped in red: Jordens & Martens. New-York 785 Broadway. Hard Cover. 1 p.l., 108 pages; 26.5 cm. Composed in 1843-1845 on commission from the King of Prussia and first performed in December of 1845, Athalie was the last production of Mendelssohn's Berlin period. The first edition was Leipzig, 1849. Jean Racine's (1639-1699) Biblical tragedy was first performed in 1691. This version, with English libretto by William Bartholomew (1793-1867), seems to be the first English edition, and, with its publisher's overstamp, the first American as well. It appears to be earlier than the editions in the NUC (cf. 375: 552-553) or in the Boston or New York Public Libraries catalogs. It certainly dates before 1867 when Ewer merged with Novello. Vg/ bound in 3/4 leather with name label on front cover of Charles F. Leonard (a bass if the pencil markings are his). Stock#OB201.
