Swingtime In Europe

As president of the Netherlands Jazz League during the 1930's, Edward Crommelin arranged recording sessions and concert engagements for a number of visiting jazz 'greats' from America and France. The recording sessions that he arranged were made into a limited edition LP record entitled "Swingtime In Europe" published in 1969. Miff Crommelin managed to purchase a copy of this LP record on Ebay (the only one available on the internet!) and hereby provides various letters and photos related to those recording sessions.
