Durium Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I Like Jazz - Hans de Haëm - Hans Herder Making Jazz pictures has become a piece of art since Frank Wolff. Jazz cartoons are pretty rare. Ate van Delden recently gathered the cartoons of Boy ten Hove in the book Boy ten Hove's Caricatures. The little book I Like Jazz was made in 1960 by the cartonist Hans de Haëm and brings great rather fragile drawings with texts, in a rather droll style - of Hans Herder . A nice book to have around.

EKE BBB Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Looks like a very nice book. I love jazz cartoons! Is it available anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yeah, it's a funny one. This edition of "I Like Jazz" (issued around 1960) was part of a series of cartoon books (covering various topics) called "Die Schmunzelbücher" ("smiling books") by Bärmeier & Nikel. Maybe this helps when you do an eBay search. As for the texts being of any value or not today, this all depends ... They are not to be taken too seriously anyway, but they do give an impression of how Jazz was perceived over here at that time. And sometimes Jazz of a certain era is understood a LOT better by reading about it in contemporary sources than by referring to more recent "history" sources that analyze the music to death.

If you search on the internet I found several cheap *bay copies. I Like Jazz Keep swinging Durium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
