In the virtual auction house recently, this item was for sale: Noel Arnaud's surreal treatise on Duke Ellington with illustrations by Max Bucaille. Helpfully, the vendor has included pictures allowing us to see more than the front cover of this publication. I would have to spend quite a bit of time on Google Translate to understand the extracts here shown. The date 1950, however, certainly ties the publication to Ellington's trip to Paris two years earlier with Ray Nance and Kay Davis, featured here in this booklet.
Ellington and Strayhorn's relationship to Paris is a source of perennial fascination, the city of light inspiring some of the artists' best work and a rich field for further research...
