LARKIN (Philip).

All What Jazz. A Record Diary 1961-68.

First edition. 8vo. Original brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt, dust jacket. London, Faber and Faber, 1970.

£125.00

Some of the most celebrated jazz criticism, albeit from the vantage point of believing that Louis Armstrong’s 1929 ‘St. Louis Blues’ is ‘The hottest record ever made’, and prefaced by an introduction that may be the most honestly eloquent grumpy old man rant ever.

A near-fine copy, with minimal wear to the dust jacket’s spine panel head. With a loosely inserted newspaper clipping of a review of the title.
