LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Steve Miller was born in 1927 in New York City. As a teenager, he attended the High School of Music and Art in New York where he studied piano and trombone, followed by a stint in World War II as a member of the U.S. Navy Band. In 1944, his talent earned him a full scholarship to the prestigious Juilliard School of Music where he studied under Ernest Clarke. While attending Juilliard, Miller also played with the Dean Dixon Orchestra. Steve’s education brought him to Kansas City, where he performed with the Kansas City Philharmonic. During that time, he also earned his master’s degree from Kansas City University and taught music lessons in piano and trombone. While Miller played with the Philharmonic, he and a drummer friend created a duo and began playing at the Stardust Lounge. The band and its popularity grew, and Miller added a bass player and talented female vocalist who later appear on the Ed Sullivan Show. The band moved on to playing at the Southern Mansion, a restaurant known for its good food and live music. These shows led Miller to make connections with the socially elite in Kansas City, and he was soon playing at local country clubs and private parties. Eventually, Miller’s band grew to a point that he could quit the Philharmonic and focus solely on what was to become the Steve Miller K.C. Band. The Steve Miller KC Band performed its signature jazz sound at dances, weddings, private parties, the Jewel Ball, the Ballet Ball, the American Royal Ball, a cabaret concert with the Kansas City Philharmonic, and the World’s Fair in Seville, Spain. He also accompanied Bob Hope and Ginger Rogers, and played private parties for Don and Adele Hall of the famous Hallmark Corporation and for Ewing Kauffman, a local businessman and one-time owner of the Kansas City Royals. One client requested a show involving opera music, singers and dancers. Miller happily arranged it. Another wanted the history of jazz music incorporated into the show. He created a full show including narration and used it for many years. Miller developed quite a following; he always remembered people’s favorite songs. When people he knew would enter while he was performing, he would play their favorite songs. Entering a room during his shows became special moments for audience members. Miller passed away on March 7, 2012, of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Sources: Excerpts and information taken from Steve Miller’s obituary, written by Melissa Schupmann in the Kansas City Star and from Leigh Michels’s 2010 article, “Simple Moments, Momentous Life,” in Leader. MS200-Steve Miller 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 Steve Miller Collection was a gift to the University Libraries in September 2011. Materials date from 1951-2012, with the majority of non-musical materials originating from the 1980s and 1990s. The impressive bulk of this collection can be found in the music manuscripts. Contained are over one thousand pieces of music, including pieces that are original arrangements and pieces that were performed by Miller’s ensembles. Most non-musical items in the collection give a wide overview of Miller’s musical career, encompassing the performing aspect and also the business aspect. Many of his personal documents – including contracts, schedules, correspondence, and finances – give insight into his success in Kansas City. Another valuable niche of the collection is the wide range of photographs that document Miller’s life and career, beginning in the 1950s and ending in the early 2000s. Miller’s unique and special connection to the Kansas City community is greatly shown through the correspondence, pictures, and various directories, newsletters, and journals. The numerous newspaper clippings also demonstrate his decades of musical activity. SERIES NOTES SERIES I: BIOGRAPHICAL This series is located in Box 1, Folder 1.

  • Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail
    Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail. Cottontail stands as a fine example of Ellington’s “Blanton-Webster” years, where the ​ band was at its peak in performance and popularity. The “Blanton-Webster” moniker refers to bassist Jimmy Blanton and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who recorded Cottontail on May 4th, 1940 alongside Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Chauncey Haughton, and Harry Carney on saxophone; Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, and Ray Nance on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Juan Tizol, Joe Nanton, and Lawrence Brown on trombone; Fred Guy on guitar, Duke on piano, and Sonny Greer on drums. John Hasse, author of The Life and Genius of Duke ​ Ellington, states that Cottontail “opened a window on the future, predicting elements to come in ​ jazz.” Indeed, Jimmy Blanton’s driving quarter-note feel throughout the piece predicts a collective gravitation away from the traditional two feel amongst modern bassists. Webster’s solo on this record is so iconic that audiences would insist on note-for-note renditions of it in live performances. Even now, it stands as a testament to Webster’s mastery of expression, predicting techniques and patterns that John Coltrane would use decades later. Ellington also shows off his Harlem stride credentials in a quick solo before going into an orchestrated sax soli, one of the first of its kind. After a blaring shout chorus, the piece recalls the A section before Harry Carney caps everything off with the droning tonic. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue. This piece is remarkable for two reasons: Diminuendo & ​ ​ Crescendo in Blue exemplifies Duke’s classical influence, and his desire to write more ​ grandiose pieces with more extended forms.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.
