SCARCE / RARE. Danish translation of "Really the Blues" (title taken from a Sidney Bechet's composition), autobiography of Milton "Mezz" Mezzrow published in USA in 1946, a popular success introducing mass audience to aspects of black culture / Autobiographie traduite en danois du clarinettiste de jazz "Nouvelle-Orl�ans" Mezz Mezzrow, publi�e aux Etats-Unis en 1946 sous le titre de "Really the Blues" (nom d'une composition de Sidney Bechet) et qui remporta un vif succ�s de librairie, faisant d�couvrir des aspects de la culture noire � un large public. SIGNED BY SIDNEY BECHET TO CLAUS (BORRE) to first page (three lines). Milton "Mezz" Mezzrow, born Mesirow (1899-1972) was a jazz clarinetist and saxophonist from Chicago, better known for his drug dealing than his music ("mezz" became slang for marijuana and himself was known as "Muggles King", "muggles" being another slang for it). He organized and took part in many recording sessions in the 1930s and 1940s and helped spark the "New Orleans revival". In the mid-1940s he started his own record label, King Jazz Records. After appearing at the 1948 Nice Jazz Festival, he made his home in France and organized bands that included French musicians. He declared himself a "voluntary negro" and spent the last twenty years of his life in Paris, where he was a life-long friend with the French jazz critic Hugues Panassi� and where he died. Bernard Wolfe (1915-1985) was an American writer. Between 1936 and 1938, he contributed to Trotskyist journals and worked in 1937, for eight month, as Trotsky's bodyguard and secretary in Mexico. In 1939, he moved to Greenwich Village, where is eventually drifted from the Trotskyist movement and met Ana�s Nin and Henry Miller, who wrote a preface for "Really the Blues" (which is not published in the Danish edition). Through them he found employment writing pornographic novels. In 1960, he began publishing stories in "Playboy Magazine". He wrote many novels, some related to Trostky. Sidney Bechet (1897-1959) was an American saxophonist, clarinetist and composer, one of the first important soloists in jazz. He was born in New Orleans to a middle-class Creole of color family. He played in many New Orleans ensembles. In 1919, he joined Will Marion Cook's Syncopated Orchestra who traveled in Europe and performed at the Royal Philarmonic Hall in London. In 1925, he sailed again to Europe, with "Revue N�gre" and Josephine Baker. He toured Europe with various bands, even Soviet Union in 1926. Few years later, he toured also with Noble Sissle's Orchestra in Germany and Soviet Union. In 1950, he moved to France, where he easily found well-paid work, became very popular and recorded many hit tunes, like "Les Oignons" or "Petite Fleur. Claus Borre, born in 1944 in Copenhagen, is one of the best-known Danish sports journalists, working for national newspaper Berlingske Tidende (1968-1977), Danmarks Radio (1977-2005) and then for TV2.
