STOCK, Dennis (1928-2010) and Michel-Claude JALARD. Plaisir du Jazz. Lausanne: La Guilde du Livre, 1959.

First edition, number 1763 of 5000 copies, co-creator Michel Jalard’s copy, signed or inscribed to him by a host of jazz, R&B and blues musicians including Cozy Cole, Duke Ellington, Earl Fatha Hines and Muddy Waters.

Scarce first edition, preceding the American version, Jazz Street, by one year. Jazz Street earned Stock first prize in the International Photography Competition for his behind-the-scenes images of Miles Davis, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Lester Young and others, capturing ‘all there is to say of Louis Armstrong… the sardonic posture of Billie Holiday… [and] the face of Coleman Hawkins as he regards his saxophone… It is the look of a man about to do battle with an adversary – beloved, but still an adversary’. The New York Times.

Quarto (280 x 220 mm). Text in French by Michel-Claude Jalard. Profusely illustrated in black and white, with fold-out accompanying captions and illustrations by Miró, pictorial endpapers. Original white simulated cloth-backed laminated pictorial boards, title in black to the spine. Housed in a modern custom black cloth slip-case with chemise.

[With:] WATERS, Muddy (1913-1983). A 1963 membership card for the Crawdaddy Club, London, signed in blue ballpoint pen on the reverse by Muddy Waters and Memphis Slim. Tri-fold membership card printed in black, 150 x 100 mm, framed (276 x 230 mm).
