    Condition: Très bon. 1ère édition. LAS d'1 pp. au format in-4 rédigée à l'encre bleue. Lettre autographe signée adressée à Maurice Nadeau lui demandant de participer à album consacré au jazzman Louis Armstrong alors en préparation. Le 3 juin 63/ Cher Monsieur, / Je prépare présentement pour les éditions du Temps / un album photographique sur Louis Amstrong ; mais / un album qui ne se bornera pas à reproduire quelques / mimiques de ce "musicien shakespearien" pour reprendre / la formule de Le Corbusier. / Les photos seront, en effet, "illustrées" par des poèmes, / des analyses de son uvre, des boutades, des jugements de / toutes sortes, dont celui, souverain, de Miller / Puis-je vous demander quelques lignes sur le rugis- / sant et impérial Armstrong ? / Puis-je espérer votre présence ? / Sachez que votre témoignage me serait infiniment précieux. / Veuillez agréer, cher Monsieur, l'expression de ma plus / vive admiration. Michel Boujut / P.S. j'ai obtenu votre adresse par les éd. Rencontre, / à Lausanne ou je suis correcteur. Français de nationalité, je / vous écris d'un pays mitoyen, ayant refusé, il y a trois ans, / de participer à la guerre d'Algérie. / (Mon ami Jean-Paul Sanson qui me recueillit en Suisse, publia / dans sa revue "Témoins" un mien "Adieu aux armes"). Écrivain et critique, Michel Boujut (1940 - 2011) était un spécialiste féru de cinéma et de jazz. Comme il l'évoque dans le post scriptum de cette lettre, il était antimilitariste, déserta en 1961 et s'exila en Suisse afin de ne pas prendre part à la Guerre d'Algérie. Signé par l'auteur. Livre d'occasion.

    âLouis Armstrong and his Concert Group' program. Quarto, original wrappers, 20 pages, illustrated with black and white photographs of the band and its members. Boldy signed by Louis Armstrong on the thirteenth page, and additionally signed by Velma Middleton, Barney Bigard, Tummy Young, and Danny Barcelona on their respective portraits. In near fine condition. American trumpeter, composer and vocalist Louis Armstrong was one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz. His career spanned five decades, from the 1920s to the 1960s, and he was renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet playing. Armstrong was one of the first popular African-American entertainers to "cross over"; whose skin color became secondary to his music in an America that was extremely racially divided at the time.

    'Louis Armstrong and his Concert Band' program. Quarto, original wrappers, 14 pages, illustrated with black and white photographs of the band and its members. Signed by Louis Armstrong on the second page, and additionally inscribed by four members of the band on their respective pages: trombonist Trummy Young, "Sincerely Trummy Young;" clarinetist Barney Bigard, "Regards + Barney Bigard;" double-bassist Arvell Shaw, "Best wishes, Arvell Shaw;" and pianist Billy Kyle, "Sincerely, Billy Kyle." In very good condition. A scarce combination of signatures. American trumpeter, composer and vocalist Louis Armstrong was one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz. His career spanned five decades, from the 1920s to the 1960s, and he was renowned for his charismatic stage presence and recognizable voice almost as much as for his trumpet playing. Armstrong was one of the first popular African-American entertainers to "cross over," whose skin color became secondary to his music in an America that was extremely racially divided at the time.
