From the collection of Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts: a delightful set of promotional cards. Jazz artists include Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Dinah Shore and Lena Horne. From the sweeter side come Perry Como, Sammy Kaye, Charlie Spivak, The King Sisters, and fro…m out of left field, Spike Jones. Fats Waller's death is remarked on his card, Glenn Miller was evidently still alive - "enlisted in the Army, September 1942" - so these cards must have been issued sometime between December 1943 and December 1944. 16 colour-printed post-cards (140 x 83 mm), together with the original printed envelope with metal "butterfly" clasp closure. Cards very slightly rubbed, the envelope a little soiled, the clasp rusting, but overall very good.
