GUNTHER SCHULLER NEA Jazz Master (2008) Interviewee: Gunther Schuller (November 22, 1925 - ) Interviewer: Steve Schwartz with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: June 29-30, 2008 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 87 pp. Schwartz: This is Steve Schwartz from WGBH radio in Boston. We’re at the home of Gunther Schuller on Dudley Road in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, to do an oral history for the Smithsonian Oral History Jazz Program, if that’s the right title. Close enough? Hello Gunther. Schuller: Hello. Good to see you. Schwartz: Thank you for opening your doors to us. We should start at the beginning, or as far back to the beginning as we can go. I’d love to have you talk about your childhood, your growing up in New York, and whatever memories you have – your parents, who they are, who they were – things like that to get us started. Schuller: I was born in New York. Many people think I was born in Germany, with my German name and I speak fluent German, but I was born in New York City. My parents came over from Germany in 1923. They were not married. They didn’t know each other. They just happened to leave more or less the same time, when the inflation in Germany was so crazy that a loaf of bread cost not 40, 400, 4,000, but 4-million marks.

    COURSE 1 DOING BUSINESS THE CARNEGIE DELI WAY he Carnegie Deli has become a successful commercial enterprise because it has operated on sound business principles. Today, it is an internationally recognized Tbrand known to both New Yorkers and tourists as a must stop. In 1937, the deli embarked on a 67-year journey to progress from a modest 92-seat restaurant to a national award-winning delicatessen. It has been featured prominently and often on the Food Channel cable network, television shows, and also in do- mestic and foreign magazines and newspapers. When the media want to wax nostalgic about delicatessen food, the Carnegie Deli always comes to mind. Leo COPYRIGHTEDSteiner and Milton Parker, MATERIALthe partners responsible for the restaurant’s success, had no million-dollar revenue stars in their eyes. Their initial goal was simple: to make a de- cent profit at the end of the day. Parker has said, “If we were left with more cash at the end of the week, we considered the deli a success.” 1 2 DOING BUSINESS THE CARNEGIE DELI WAY Of the more than 300 New York-area delis in 1976, when the Carnegie changed hands, only 30 exist today because din- ing tastes changed over time. In addition, a delicatessen, if run correctly (like the Carnegie), is a 221⁄2-hours-a-day, hands-on operation. Few new restaurateurs have elected to make deli- catessen work their life’s profession. CARNEGIE DELI: BUSINESS 101 What business guidelines has the deli employed over these many years? What are the keys to its commercial success? Why did it survive when so many other famous New York City deli- catessens (e.g., The Madison Avenue Deli, Wolfs on West 57th Street) faded into obscurity? At the outset, the Carnegie Deli—a multimillion-dollar op- eration—has no thick book that contains a Mission Statement or an elaborate, numbers-driven business plan.

  • 1 from the Publisher Historically There Have Been Two Types of Dining
    From the Publisher Historically there have been two types of dining guides—those written by professionals, and those based on a survey of diners. Both methods can produce reliable results, but they are also capable of producing results that appear to be out of sync with the way that the most avid dining hobbyists feel about a restaurant. In the past, there was no way to access the knowledge possessed by this group of people. But hopefully that has changed because OA has developed a new type of survey—one that asks participants to describe how strongly they recommend the restaurants they are evaluating, while at the same time weighting each participant’s input based on the number and quality of the restaurants he or she has rated. It is my hope that this method will prove useful to all categories of diners, and that the narrative provided by this group of people will take its rightful place among the various forms of restaurant criticism that are currently available. If you would like to participate in our 2011 Survey, simply go to the url below and enter the word olive as the pre-approval code. Enjoy, and I hope your dining endeavors in 2010 are fruitful!
