First edition compilation from the journals of dedicated teenage jazz fan Bob Inman, together with four original pages from the published journals, and sixteen vintage publicity portraits from Inman’s collection; the four autograph pages carrying an account of attending a ‘super-colossal’ broadcast by the Chick Webb band, four original black and white snapshots of the session, and the signatures of Webb and his band; the sixteen publicity portraits including Louis Armstrong, Count Basie and Duke Ellington.
