[Charles Agvent]

BARAKA, Amiri (LeRoi JONES). SIGNED TYPESCRIPT: MONEY. A Jazz Opera. 
Newark/Washington, DC, December 1978 - January 1979. A photocopied 
ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT by Baraka consisting of 135 loose pages, many of 
them with pencil or ink markings and annotations, housed in an orange 
paper folder with "MONEY/orig)" in Baraka's hand on the front cover. The 
manuscript is SIGNED in full by the author at the conclusion with the 
date and place in type. MONEY was first produced Off-Broadway in 1982 
with music by George Gruntz, the director of the Zurich opera and 
orchestra, and later in part at George Wein's New York Jazz Festival in 
the early 1990s. According to Baraka, MONEY was even "banned in France 
by the United States" because it was considered anti-American. A few 
pages with coffee stains, expected general use. Complete and Very Good.
