No copy located in WorldCat. All these rare imprints showed the international popularity of American-born Jazz after World War II, but with a bow to various national politics. The Belgian imprint appeared while the war was still in progress, with Brussels liberated but Allied armies fighting the Nazis just a few hundred miles away. It included photos of Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, King Oliver and “Red” Allen, but also Belgians Josse Aerts, Rudy Bruder and Vicky Thunus (who, during the German occupation, had given clandestine performances under the noses of the Gestapo). The Argentine imprint had feature articles on Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie and photos of Kay Starr and Red Nichols, Bing Crosby, Red Saunders, even actor Gary Cooper (to accompany lyrics of the ‘High Noon” theme song “Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling”), and only one Argentine musician – yet devoted the rear cover to lauding the policies of strongman General Juan Peron. Most nationalist of the three was the newsletter of the Yugoslav Jazz association undoubtedly approved by Tito’s Communist government, but after its split with the Soviet Union. It depicted mostly Serbian musicians unknown outside their country, but with a western nod to Canadian Oscar Peterson and American pop singer Jo Stafford. Lot Amendments Condition: Very good.
