BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

A native of City, jazz artist Bernard "Step-Buddy" Anderson (b. 1919) was born into a musical family. His older brother, also a jazz fan, played alto sax. Anderson was introduced to various brass instruments, especially the bugle, while a member of the Boy Scouts. He began taking violin lessons at the age of seven. Zelia M. Breaux, noted Oklahoma City music teacher, inspired Anderson. He was a member of the Douglas High School marching and jazz bands under the Breaux's leadership. In 1934, in one of his first professional opportunities, Anderson played with the Ted Armstrong band in Clinton, Oklahoma. In the late 1930s he was a member of the Xavier University jazz band in New Orleans.

In 1939 Anderson returned to Oklahoma City and joined the Leslie Sheffield band that included and Hank Bridges. The next year he left Oklahoma for the Kansas City jazz scene and became trumpeter for the Jay McShann band. Nationally known by 1942, McShann's band included several widely touted instrumentalists, including on alto saxophone. Anderson remained with McShann until the World War II draft broke up the group. He then moved from one band to another before joining the Orchestra in 1944. Shortly thereafter, Anderson contracted tuberculosis and returned to Oklahoma City. After recovery from the disease, he was medically advised to abandon the trumpet and switched to piano. Anderson influenced numerous jazz trumpeters, including and . Like many Oklahoma-born jazz artists, Buddy Anderson is another obscure but important figure in the evolution of modern jazz styles.

Anderson died May 10, 1997.

MS20-Bernard “Step-Buddy” Anderson Collection 2 University of Missouri-Kansas City Dr. Kenneth J. LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The Bernard Anderson Collection was gifted to the Dr. Kenneth J. LaBudde Department of Special Collections in 1997 by the Kansas City Jazz Ambassadors. The collection captures Anderson‟s life and career from 1944 until his death in 1997, but also includes correspondence dating back to 1930. The collection is particularly strong in Anderson‟s literary and musical creative output, most of which was created between 1958 and 1993. Encapsulated is a wide range of writings from jazz compositions to musical stage works to books and articles on jazz and music. His project Smack-Dab Caps explores audio-visual combinations of music and slides through his innovations of illustrated songs and symbolic sounds (self-coined terms).

The collection is divided into eight series: personal materials, manuscripts and writings, compositions, Anderson projects/affiliations, newspaper/magazine/book clippings, awards, and miscellaneous materials; the last series, photographs, is made up of nearly 3000 images in 35mm slide, print and negative formats, taken mostly by Anderson, that document a wide variety of subjects from music scenes to street scenes. This method of organization lays out Anderson‟s wide range of creative work in clear sections, while presenting aspects of his personal life, interests and passions.

Images have been preserved into six archival binders, each housing 500-image increments. Because most images were taken by Anderson, the photo collection is a reflection of Anderson‟s wide-ranging interests. Subject matter includes music scenes and personalities, street scenes of Kansas City and other urban settings, candid shots of friends and colleagues, and miscellaneous shots of artwork, signs, advertisements, points of interest and humor. The street scenes, mostly Kansas City and Oklahoma City circa 1960s-1980s, are especially valuable as many document businesses and landscapes that no longer exist. The Kansas City shots focus largely on eastside locations, from midtown to downtown, and capture everything from popular landmarks and civic documentation to colorful hangouts and urban blight.
