The leather album, embossed with Gilbert's name, contains signatures and personal inscriptions from jazz musicians, bandleaders, singers, actors, and Latin stars including Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Gene Krupa, the Andrews Sisters, Ed Sullivan, Tito Guizar, Cab Calloway, Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, Roy Rogers (and Trigger!) and many more. Most of the stars have written notes of thanks to Gilbert, some even adding sketches (the first page of the album has an amusing self-portrait caricature by Xavier Cugat). Frank Sinatra writes \"It's kinda hard to think of the proper words to show my gratitude - so I'll just say thanx Dick - and you'll know what I mean,\" dated January 1943, and Krupa inscribes \"To Dick - Thankz Ten Million For All The Fine Plugs.\" Included with the album in its original box are four brightly colored posters from Gilbert's show, each advertising a new record of the late 1940's and featuring a great caricature of Gilbert with a pile of records. Also included is a further \u003c\/span\u003eunidentified signature on a brochure from an Arizona golf course.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(243, 243, 21);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe album, in very fine condition with decorative stamped endpapers, upper for˜edge in gilt and embossed leather cover, 6.5 x 8.75 inches (17.7 x 22.5 cm); posters have been trimmed to 14 x 8.5 inches (35.4 x 21.5 cm).\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe signatures include: \u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eXavier Cugat (with caricature); \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eCarmen Cavallaro; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eFrank Sinatra; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eDuke Ellington; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eLarry Adler (with caricature of himself playing harmonica); \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eConnee Boswell; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eAbe Lyman; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eJimmy Dorsey; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eJoan Edwards; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eBob Crosby; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eDick Todd; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eEnrique Madriguera; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003ePatricia Gilmore (a singer with Enrique Madriguera's orchestra); \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eBea Wain; Laverne, Maxine, and Patricia Andrews (the complete Andrews Sisters) on one page; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eTito Guizar (two signatures); \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eJohnny Long; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eEd Sullivan; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eAllan Jones; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eRuss Morgan; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eTed Fiorito; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eFrankie Carle; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eVaughn Monroe; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eLina Romay; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eCharlie Spivak; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eCab Calloway; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eEddie Howard; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eLes Brown; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eGene Krupa; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eJohnnie Johnston; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eAndy Russell; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eJo Stafford; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eGuy Lombardo; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eLouis Jordan; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eErskine Hawkins; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eTommy Dorsey; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.42857;\"\u003eRoy Rogers \u0026amp; Trigger.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093519159455,"sku":"13469","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Jazz_Autograph_Album_Sinatra_13469a.jpg?v=1722188565","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/13469-autograph-album-sinatra-frank-ellington-duke-calloway-cab-krupa-gene-adler-larry-dorsey-jimmy-dorsey-tommy-sullivan-ed-crosby","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
