Item Description
22x32" on thin cardboard. Advertises "One Show" on "January 10" featuring "Miles Davis, Redbone and Biff Rose 'N Harbour at Painters Mill Music Fair. Enchanting psychedelic graphics by "Michael Goldberg" signed in print at bottom right. A less than 3" vertical tear at bottom center, moisture stain along left edge that barely affects design. Otherwise moderate age toning and handling wear. VG. We can't find record of this concert occurring. Either way, a truly outstanding poster from the heart of jazz trumpeters 'Electric Period.' Only the third example we've encountered in our 52 years.
The Baltimore suburb of Owings Mills, MD at the dawn of the 1970s saw a rag-tag group of hippies, under the moniker Tree Frog Productions, take a trust fund and turn it into a 16 month party promoting concerts at Painter's Mill Music Fair. The venue was constructed for theatrical plays featuring a revolving stage for productions in the round. "It was kind of the area's version of what was happening at the Fillmore in San Francisco" says Ron Nix, a regular attendee and collector who had the foresight to preserve a selection of posters produced for advertising the infamous concert series.
