CONRAD, BARNABY Hemingway's Spain by Barnaby Conrad. Photographs by Loomis Dean (ISBN: 0877015473 / 0-87701-547-3)
San Francisco, CA Chronicle Books 1989
First Edition - Paperbound. Signed and inscribed by the author Barnaby Conrad to the musician Artie Shaw: Ò For Artie - with the great admiration of his friend Barny. Dec. 1989 - and Midge too!!Ó From the library of the great jazz clarinetist, composer, and bandleader Artie Shaw with his bookplate. Illustrated. Oversize format, 9 1/8Ó x 12Ó. Near fine copy with a hint of use in printed wrappers. Barnaby Conrad, writer, artist, bullfighting expert, and friend of Ernest Hemingway, has written extensively on bullfighting both in novel and in non-fiction form. Arthur Jacob Arshawsky (1910 - 2004), better known as Artie Shaw, started out his career in music at thirteen as a saxophone player and switched to the clarinet at sixteen. He gained experience and skill while on the road at a young age which lead to steady work in the 30s as a session musician and performing with various bands and orchestras and on radio. His first critical acclaim came with his performance of ÒInterlude in B-flat" at a swing concert at the Imperial Theater in New York in 1935. And during the swing era, Shaw's big band enjoyed such enduring hits like Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" and Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust," "Back Bay Shuffle,Ó "Moonglow,Ó "Rosalie," "Frenesi," and "Summit Ridge Drive." He was known for his innovation both in his musical arrangements and for becoming the first white bandleader to hire a full-time black female singer, Billie Holiday, in 1938 to tour the then segregated southern United States. Throughout his career he worked with many of the great jazz musicians and vocalists of his day, including Helen Forrest, Mel Torme, drummers Buddy Rich and Dave Tough, guitarists Barney Kessel, Jimmy Raney, and Tal Farlow and trombonist-arranger Ray Conniff. A charismatic and complicated man, Shaw was married eight times, most notably to actresses Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Doris Dowling, and Evelyn Keyes, Betty Kern, the daughter of songwriter Jerome Kern, and ÔForever Amber' author Kathleen Winsor. In 2004, he was presented with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition to his musical career and accomplishments, he is the author of an autobiography, ÔThe Trouble With Cinderella: An Outline of Identity,' three short novels; ÔI Love You, I Hate You, Drop Dead!,' a collection of short stories, ÔThe Best of Intentions and Other Stories,' and an autobiographical novel titled ÔThe Education of Albie Snow,' which, sadly never made it to publication.

JACKSON, JON A. (CARVER, RAYMOND & CONRAD, BARNABY) Ridin' With Ray and The Old Game. With Illustrations by Barnaby Conrad
Santa Barbara, CA Neville Books 1995
First Edition. One of an edition limited to 326 copies signed by the author, Jon A. Jackson. This copy is unnumbered and is the illustrator Barnaby Conrad's copy as stated on the colophon page. Fine condition, bound in blue cloth boards with silver stamping without dust jacket as issued. ÔRidin' With Ray' is an affectionate tribute to his friend and fellow author Raymond Carver by Jon A. Jackson. With Jackson's story ÔThe Old Game' which he has restored to its original state from its initial appearance in ÔMystery Monthly' magazine, and in which he introduces his character ÒFang" Mulheisen. From the conclusion of the foreword by Jackson: ÒI'm glad to write about Ray, who was without a doubt the most career oriented writer I've known, but who was also a splendid pal. He was the ur-writer. He had practically no sense of himself outside of that identification. Chekhov was a doctor, others might think of themselves as teachers, or public figures, but Ray was more like Nabokov: without writing he had no reason to be. It's a good thing in these times. Let's have a few of these literary heroes. These Harrisons and Kittredges and DeMarinises, the Jim Welches and Ella Lefflands. We can't get enough of them. To me they are the heroes. They are the ones who really tell us what goes on in our lives.Ó
