Here's a 62 year old handbill in Superb Museum Quality condition that is as fresh as the day it was created! In the world of jazz music Count Basie stands out as a true icon from the 1950's. Later in the 60's he made a huge comeback when producer Quincy Jones arranged and conducted the album “This Time by Basie!” which launched the Count back onto the pop charts right before the british invasion. Bright colors razor sharp corners and fresh paper provides awe inspiring eye appeal in this lot!
