SIGNED/INSCRIBED by DeCarava to on the verso of the title page: "May 3, 2002 / To Stanley Crouch, / Best wishes and thanks for looking, Roy DeCarava". Stanley Lawrence Crouch (December 14, 1945 – September 16, 2020) was an American poet, music and cultural critic, syndicated columnist, novelist, and biographer. Well known as Wynton Marsalis's "Best friend in the world", and perhaps best known for his jazz criticism and his 2000 novel "Don't the Moon Look Lonesome?", Crouch's extensive knowledge of jazz music and his friendship with Wynton Marsalis, who served as "Senior Creative Consultant" for Ken Burns' 2001 documentary Jazz, led to Crouch serving on the film's advisory board and his extensive appearance throughout the documentary itself. Burns's Emmy Award Winning, 10-part documentary series on the history of jazz music was first released from Jan 8 to Jan 31, in 2001, the same year as DeCarava's book "The Sound I Saw" was published, and only a few months before DeCarava penned the present inscription to Crouch. BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid, tight, clean copy in a Fine dust jacket showing light rubbing to panels and a tiny, closed tear to head of spine. Overall, a highly collectible copy, especially so when SIGNED with such an important association between DeCarava and Crouch.
