My best aquisition ever was a great collection of classic jazz albums (just about all NM) at a library sale. They were all stamped with the signature of one owner.In a copy of Ella Fitzgerald at the Opera House, I found a clipping from a 1955 issue of the Pittsburgh Courier, an African-American newspaper. In a column called "Izzy Rowe's Notebook" was a review of that record, entilted "Lady, You Are Good!"
"If anybody wants to be assured as to why the singer of all singers, Ella Fitzgerald, is topping her own attendance record at Mr. Kelly's in Chicago, all they need do is listen to her latest wax wonderment...it sounds off with a yon and there, dash and daring that's a hi-fi tallow talent."
A taste of the time when it was all new, not to mention a sense of the man who collected this great music.
