Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Eind jaren zestig van de vorige eeuw verscheen bij een Londense uitgeverij een reeks van dertien Blues Paperbacks onder hoofdredactie van Paul Oliver. Op diens bureau belandde na omzwervingen het manuscript Laughing To Keep From Cry-ing, in 1943 door de Amsterdammer Frank (Frans) Boom op 23-jarige leeftijd geschreven en daarmee de allereerste studie over blues ter wereld. Op de achterflap van de laatste drie delen van Blues Paperbacks in 1971 en 1972 werd de uitgave aangekondigd. Het boek zou evenwel niet verschijnen en het manuscript raakte (opnieuw) spoorloos. De Nederlandse blueskenner, -promotor en -pu-blicist Wim Verbei (Holland Blues Festivals, Blues-Teach-In, Mr. Blues, Hitweek, Jazzwereld, Muziekkrant Oor, Block Magazine) ging in oktober 1996 op zoek naar het verloren gewaande manuscript en naar het verhaal achter de auteur. Het manuscript, oorspronkelijk met de titel The Blues. Satirical Songs of the North American Negro, vond hij al naar een paar maanden terug. Maar om erachter te komen wie Frans Boom was (in 1953 overleden in Indonesië) kostte hem meer dan 10 jaar. Boom's Blues is een opmerkelijke biografie geworden en vertelt hoe en wanneer Nederland kennis maakte met Afrikaans-Amerikaanse bluesmuziek. En over de even dramatische als bijzondere vriendschap tussen Frans Boom en de jazzcriticus en musicoloog Will Gilbert die in de oorlog voor de Kultuurkamer bleek te werken en aan de wieg stond van het door de Duitsers uitgevaardigde Jazzverbod. Boom's Blues wordt genaaid gebonden uitgegeven op het vierkante formaat waarop ook o.a. de boeken over CCC Inc. Een band en Doe Maar. Lijf aan lijf verschenen. Het boek eindigt met de volledige Nederlandse tekst van De Blues. Satirische Liederen van de Noord-Amerikaanse Neger van J. Frank G. Boom, is rijk geïllustreerd met historische foto's en documenten en bevat een cd met 24 bluesnummers die Frans Boom in zijn collectie had en/of verwerkte in zijn manuscript.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 2017. xvi, 302pp. B&W illustrations. "Boom's Blues stands as both a remarkable biography of J. Frank G.Boom (1920-1953) and a recovery of his incredible contribution to blues scholarship originally titled The Blues: Satirical Songs of the North American Negro. Wim Verbei tells how and when the Netherlands was introduced to African American blues music and describes the equally dramatic and peculiar friendship that existed between Boom and jazz critic and musicologist Will Gilbert, who worked for the Kultuurkamer during World War II and had been charged with the task of formulating the Nazi's Jazzverbod, the decree prohibiting the public performance of jazz. Boom's Blues ends with the annotated and complete text of Boom's The Blues, providing the international world at last with an English version of the first book-length study of the blues. At the end of the 1960s, a series of thirteen blues paperbacks edited by Paul Oliver for the London publisher November Books began appearing. One manuscript landed on his desk that had been written in 1943 by a then twenty-three-year-old Amsterdammer Frank (Frans) Boom. Its publication, to which Oliver gave the title Laughing to Keep from Crying, was announced on the back jacket of the last three Blues Paperbacks in 1971 and 1972. Yet it never was published and the manuscript once more disappeared. In October 1996, Dutch blues expert and publicist Verbei went in search of the presumably lost manuscript and the story behindits author. It only took him a couple of months to track down the manuscript, but it took another ten years to glean the full story behind the extraordinary Frans Boom, who passed away in 1953 in Indonesia." Hardcover in excellent condition with no inscriptions.…
