Flyer: IVY JAZZ BAND BALL Astor Hotel NYC Nov 1959 - Stan Rubin & MANY guests

Description

On offer is an original flyer for the Second Annual Ivy Jazz Band Ball, a big blowout on Thanksgiving Night, Nov 26, 1959, in the Grand Ballroom at the Astor Hotel in New York's Times Square. Dancing to Stan Rubin Orch and his small group, the Tigertown Five ("of Grace Kelly Fame"--they played at her wedding in Monaco). Rubin apparently organized this event. Jazz by a big contingent of name players, including Wild Bill Davison, Pee Wee Russell, Bob Wilber, Wilbur DeParis, Max Kaminsky, and J.C. Higginbotham. There were also college jazz groups from Colgate, Princeton, Vassar, and others. But wait, there's more! The 12-year-old jazz sensations, drummer Barry Miles and trumpeter Glenn Zottola, also performed, and Miss Rheingold and Miss New York were on hand to wave and smile.
