George Sottung (American, 1927 - 1999) "Louis Armstrong" Signed lower left. Original Oil painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 32c Louis Armstrong stamp issued September 1, 1995. If Jack Armstrong was the "all-American boy," Louis Armstrong certainly deserves the title "all-American musician." The jazz trumpeter and singer nicknamed "Satchmo" (a shortened form of "Satchel Mouth") was born in New Orleans in 1900 or 1901 and moved to Chicago in 1922. It wasn't long before Armstrong had set the conventional blues and jazz establishment on its proverbial ear. Forsaking the traditional New Orleans sound that saw trumpet, clarinet and trombone playing second fiddle to the needs of a larger ensemble, Armstrong's innovative style stressed individual virtuosity and became the rage among blues aficionados. But Armstrong's talents didn't end with his personal mastery of the trumpet. He's credited with creating "scat" vocals, where the human voice is used in place of instruments to improvise melody without uttering actual words. "Satchmo" even sang tunes with real words like Hello Dolly!, which in 1964 displaced the Beatles from the top spot on the list of best-selling recordings. Armstrong also appeared in other Hollywood movies including Pennies from Heaven, The Glenn Miller Story and High Society. In his later years, popular around the world, Armstrong became an unofficial ambassador for the U.S. State Department, performing in various Eastern Bloc nations and in Africa to the delight of millions.

PASTERNAK BORIS: (1890-1960) Russian Poet and Novelist of Doctor Zhivago (1957). Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1958. An excellent and lengthy Autograph Manuscript, four pages, folio, n.p., n.d., in Cyrillic. The text is entitled `Pavlo Tychyna - The First Encounter- Chernigov, 1910´ and corresponds to Pasternak´s full translation into Russian of Tychyna´s work The First Encounter, being Pasternak a literary translator. The manuscript states in part `I remember an autumn day. The sky turned blue. Silver dust seemed to fall from the hot firmament… Lessons had finished, and you could hear the din, the laughing and the music of the harmonica in the seminar classes…´ further saying `..he said into the void, while holding a heap of leaves in his hands. He was black-eyed and was wearing a hat. I grasped anxiety in his eyes… The sun came out again. And the stranger, being about to get up, looked at me as if I were a dear person. How could I not lose my mind!...´ The poetic text further refers to George Sand, Glinka, and a musical concert, stating `After about five days a concert was given in the seminar hall. Students were in charge of taking care of spectators. Guests were arriving, the corridor was full. At the entrance of the hall, the greenery on the balconies hung down as a living garland hiding the frieze. We were on duty among the stewards, either rehearsing the bow, either joking about forfeits or about George Sand… "Don't be shy!" said the art teacher, slightly pushing me, introducing me to his companion: "A very promising poet, if there is a chance, it would not be a bad idea to publish his works. You must have a bunch of poems already?.. The bell rang and everyone started gathering slowly at the hall. Clumsy tuning up was escaping through the door. The horn set the tone for violas, racing with the clarinet. A roar of instruments was sonorous like a brawl. I also tried my oboe… Then the conductor waved his baton, reconciling discordant sounds. Everything froze. Glinka spoke from the suite. From the bottom of the bass, the forest began to rise… Winter was over... There was a spring day without limits around me, and the sun, and this little bird above the field! No! There was also the sweat of the working people, and the glory….that Glinka was praising. That work that tears the limits of time and pulls forward. I thought that Kotsyubinsky was also feeling that storming of notes. At the peak of our powers, we performed "Lark". While playing the oboe, I kept an eye on Kotsyubinsky. He was looking into the distance quietly, like a person at the helm. He knew: there were battles, victories and wars far away, and therefore our beloved creator was sitting straight up, honourable, and looked into the distance...´ Overall age wear, with some professional repairs, mostly to edges. Otherwise About G £6000-9000 Tychyna´s work "The First Encounter" was originally written in Ukranian, and was translated into Russian by Boris Pasternak. It was first published in 1939 by Molodaya Gvardia in Moscow. George Sand (1804-1876) French Novelist who used the pseudonym of George Sand, her real name being Amantine Dupin. Also known for her romantic affairs with artists, including Frédéric Chopin and Alfred de Musset. Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857) Russian Composer. Widely regarded as the Father of Russian music.
