An original and apparently unique plaster cast of the jazz great's right hand, realized by the Chirothèque Française. Captioned on the side: "Boogie-woogie on St. Louis Blues." Repaired breaks to the fingers, with a few further losses and light soiling. Approx. 29 x 16 cm.  Provenance: from the collection of the Parisian art dealer and collector Michel de Bry, who together with the legendary jazz impresario Hugues Panassié organized the 1948
Festival International du Jazz

The “
St. Louis Blues
” is perhaps the most venerable of all standards. Composed and published in 1914 by
W.C. Handy
, the song was not the first to incorporate the blues,
but it was Handy’s greatest success, recorded thousands of times by musicians of nearly every genre.
Earl Hines
’ 1940 rendition “Boogie Woogie on St. Louis Blues” was a hit record f
or his
big band. Hines maintains the boogie pattern for the first minute or so, then hints at it for the rest of the arrangement.
