Description: [Liege, Belgium]: The Author, [1977]. First Edition.. Original printed wrappers.. Very good; modest sunning to the backstrip. A news article about Taylor neatly spot mounted to the front endsheet facing the title [no offset - yet].. 8vo, [8], [9] - 301, [302 - blank], [14 - index], [2 - blank], [2 - printer's slug, verso blank] pp. This copy with a dated presentation inscription signed by the author on the Dedication page reading: "For Sylvie [printed] and Igor etc. / I hope you enjoy / Art Taylor / Jan. 13, 1978" [autograph]. The rare, true first, of one of the great books of modern jazz history. Taylor - who had lived in Europe most of his career - self-published this book based on interviews of the preceding decade. Taylor played drums in a series of bands in the 1950s that defined modern jazz. The book records his one-on-one conversations with a "who's who" of jazz artists of the period. And what conversations! As an accomplished musician and Afro-American he was able to query his subjects in a manner that no one else could approach. An invaluable resource.

It was printed on a 1963 Heidelberg Cylinder Press for the text, and an 1853 Albion hand press for the engravings. The paper is mouldmade Alice Zerkall. The Hansard text was set in Van Dijck by Ronset, the last job to be set before their hot metal closure in November 1988. Bill Hughes at Solo-Type set the hanging shoulder notes in 8pt Garamond italic, and Jonathan Stephenson & Geoffrey Bamford set the rest of the text matter in Van Dijck at The Rocket Press. A signed print by John Lawrence accompanies each copy of the book, which is dedicated by the printer to his mother, Heather Lawrence, who was a fine scholar and who saw the beginnings but not the end of this pleasurable effort. Simon Lawrence, Christmas 1990." Luke Hansard was an English printer who printed the Journals of the House of Commons from 1774 until his death in 1828. He was born in Norwich and apprenticed to the Norwich printer, Stephen White. When his apprenticeship was completed, he headed for London, entering the printing office of John Hughs, printer to the British House of Commons. He became a partner in the business in 1774, taking over all operations of the business by 1800. Among those whose friendship Hansard won through his profession were Edmund Burke, Samuel Johnson, and Robert Orme.
