Original vintage concert program produced for the Premiere Salon International du Jazz staged at the Salle des Congrès and the Centre Marcelin-Berthelot in Paris [France] from 1st to 5th December, 1950, organised by Charles Delaunay and Jacques Souplet and presented by “Jazz-Hot” and La Fédération des Hot-Clubs Français. Performing artists included Sidney Bechet, Don Byas, James Moody, Roy Eldridge,  Claude Luter, Stan Kenton, George Shearing, Alix Combelle, Hubert Fol, Nat Peck, the Dutch Swing College Band, Claude Bolling, and many more. During each afternoon of the festival the general public could attend lectures by jazz specialists and watch film screenings. The event, however, was much more than just a music festival.
