Late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts had what Christie’s describes as the “rarest obtainable editions” of books by renowned authors such as George Orwell, Agatha Christie and James Joyce.
More than 500 items, including a first edition of “The Great Gatsby” with inscriptions by the author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, will be on offer in a sale in London on September 28 and an online sale between September 15 and 29, according to auction house Christie’s.
Parker, about whom Watts wrote a children’s book, led the development of the modern jazz form bebop, and bidders will have the chance to get their hands on his personal possessions, including his Associated Musicians Membership Card and a pair of his 1952 Down Beat awards. Scores belonging to American composer Irving Berlin will also be on offer, along with George Gershwin’s annotated printed score for his 1935 opera “Porgy and Bess.” This is expected to sell for up to £15,000 .
