There is Charlie Parker's King alto saxophone, with mother-of-pearl
keys,
his primary horn in the 1950's. There is Benny Goodman's clarinet,
John
Coltrane's soprano and tenor saxophones, Gerry Mulligan's baritone.
Thelonious Monk's tailored jacket. A ribald 27-page letter from Louis
Armstrong to his manager. One of Ornette Coleman's notebooks from the
late
1950's, with his practice exercises and, on one of the last pages,
one of
his greatest compositions, "Focus on Sanity," written in pencil. Home
movies
of Coltrane shoveling snow outside his house in Philadelphia in the
late
1950's. Charlie Parker concert recordings made by his wife, Chan, and
high
school book reports by Monk.

On Feb. 20 at the Allen Room in Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Hall,
Guernsey's Auction House will put all these items, and many others,
on the
block at a special jazz auction. Previews will be held on Feb. 18 and
19,
but Guernsey's would not estimate how much the auction will make.
