Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Certificate of Merit for the 2009 Association for Recorded Sound Collections Award for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research It may be that the song most baby boomers identify from July 1956 is a simple twelve-bar blues, hyped on national television by a twenty-one-year-old Elvis Presley and his handlers. But it is a very different song, with its elongated fourteen-bar choruses of rhythm and dissonance, played on the night of July 7, 1956, by a fifty-seven-year-old Duke Ellington and his big band that got everybody on their feet and moving as one. More than fifty years later, Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue, recorded at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival, still makes a profound statement about postwar America-how we got there and where it all went. Backstory in Blue is a behind-the-scenes look at this epic moment in American cultural history. It is the story of who and what made Ellingtons composition so compelling and how one piece of music reflected the feelings and shaped the sensibilities of the postwar generation. As John Fass Morton explains, it was music expressed as much by those who performed offstage as by those who performed on. Written from the point of view of the audience, this unique account draws on interviews with fans and music professionals of all kinds who were there and whose lives were touched, and in some cases changed, by the experience. Included are profiles of George Avakian, who recorded and produced Ellington at Newport 1956; Paul Gonsalves, the tenor sax player responsible for the legendary twenty-seven choruses that enabled the rebirth of Ellingtons career; and the Bedford Blonde, Elaine Anderson, whose dance ignited both the band and the crowd. Duke Ellington once remarked, I was born at Newport. Here we learn that Newport was much more than the turning point for Ellingtons career. It was the tipping point for a generation and a musical genre. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

An extremely good copy with the very rare limitation leaf (folded into two and printed on the front only). A spectacular display of Fass's decorative designs, printer's ornaments and gentle humour. John Strobble Fass (1890-1973) was a graphic designer and printer of fine press books who designed books for the leading American publishers of limited edition books. Early in his career he worked for publishing house of William Rudge where he learned a great deal from Bruce Rogers. In 1925 Fass founded the Harbor Press in New York which specialised in creating fine editioned books. This press closed in 1939 and Fass began printing exquisite books from his single-room home at the Bronx YMCA first under the name Hell-Box Press and later he began the Hammer Creek Press in the 1950s. He used an Albion with an extraordinary provenance. He bought it from Valenti Angelo, who also illustrated a number of Hammer Creek Press titles. Angelo had got the press from Bruce Rogers who in turn had procured it from the great Emery Walker. Hammer Creek is known for its immaculate masterpieces of letterpress printing in tiny editions. Beautifully conceived and printed, John Fass worked slowly to achieve perfection, hence the turtle press device and his Press motto 'Festina Lente' [Hurry slowly]. At this time he also produced a series of leaf prints, printing directly onto Japanese tissue.
