French Jazz Magazines circa 1960

Some highlights from “JAZZ” and JAZZ HOT,” French-language jazz musician/enthusiast magazines circa 1960.  I can picture Michel thumbing thru these while waiting for Patricia to come back from her classes at Uni.

The RV guitar amplifier, as distributed by Conn.  Beautiful little amp; it has a sort of a Carr vibe to it.

Anyone have any information on these lil fellas?  Schematics?

Benny Goodman with an RCA 77 (and some sort of horn-type instrument?)

Billy Holiday about to make you weep via an EV 636.  I have had a few of these and they can sound pretty cool.  Good cheap vintage mic.

 Studio scene circa ’60

When tracking overdubs I generally get by with a Royer (into some tube preamp/DBX comp) and a u87 (into an API/Purple comp) out on the floor.   If it don’t sound good on one, it’ll sound good on the other (or both).   Same thing but with a 77 and a U47?  Yes please.

Seems like Stimmer was a guitar (and other) pickup maker.  But what is that guitar?
