BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Robert “Bob” Brookmeyer enjoyed a long, distinguished career in music as a composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and educator. Born December 19, 1929, in Kansas City, Missouri, he was inspired by the unique jazz style of his hometown, noting a 1941 performance by at the Tower Theater as a life-changing event. While his affinity for big bands was to be his calling card, Brookmeyer was also intrigued by the musical language of , transcribing by ear early recordings of , who had left Kansas City for in the early 1940s. Brookmeyer studied and composition at the Kansas City Conservatory (which became part of what is now the University of Missouri-Kansas City), winning the Carl Busch Award for Choral Composition. In 1986 Brookmeyer received the UMKC Conservatory Alumni Award, and in 1991 earned an honorary doctorate in music from UMKC.

Moving to New York in the early , Brookmeyer’s early professional credits include time with the big bands of , Ray McKinley and , as well as freelance work with , , , and . By this time Brookmeyer had begun playing valve , coming to prominence with , with whom he performed at the Paris Jazz Festival in 1953. A year later, he replaced in ’s west-coast-style “pianoless” quartet, playing an integral role in Mulligan’s quartet and sextet groups and the Concert , the latter with which Brookmeyer toured in 1960. In between stints with Mulligan, Brookmeyer joined the Three, which included guitarist ; freelanced as a musician, composer and arranger; and recorded one of his most acclaimed albums, Traditionalism Revisited, in 1957. Other notable recordings during this time include The Ivory Hunters, a two-piano collaboration with , and George Russell’s New York, New York.

In 1961 he and trumpeter began a five-year association co-leading a popular and critically well-received . Brookmeyer was a charter member of the famed - Orchestra in 1965, dividing his chores between arranging and playing, and finding steady work as a band member in the Mort Lindsay Band on television’s Merv Griffin Show.

Brookmeyer left New York in 1968 to resettle in southern . For the next decade he did some studio work, but was relatively inactive as a jazz musician. He came out of retirement in 1978 with a new album, Back Again, returned to New York, and in 1979 began a long-term relationship as composer, arranger and musical director of the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Brookmeyer released some small group recordings and played festival reunions with Mulligan and Terry.

By the early 1980s, Brookmeyer was teaching at the School of Music and working more and more in Europe. During a stay in Europe he was invited to initiate a jazz project at the famed Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, which in turn became the beginnings of his New Art Orchestra, an 18-piece group that would serve as his composition voice. Brookmeyer has dozens of albums to his credit, both as leader and sideman. He was nominated for a Grammy 8 times and a grant recipient for composition from the National Endowment for the Arts.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The Robert Brookmeyer Collection consists of manuscript scores and copies of manuscript scores created for performance by jazz ensembles. The vast majority of the material was either composed or arranged by Robert Brookmeyer, although there are five arrangements by jazz musician and composer Bill Holman. The manuscripts date from 1958 to 1982 with the majority having been created between the years 1979-1982.

The collection is arranged in three series: Jazz Ensemble Compositions, Jazz Ensemble Arrangements, and Bill Holman Arrangements. The major strength of the collection lies in the opportunity to witness Brookmeyer's process of composing and arranging. All of the scores are handwritten with eraser marks and annotations. There is more than one score to several titles, allowing researchers to compare different handwritten editions of the works. While there is no personal or business material of Brookmeyer's in the collection, the scores do provide valuable research opportunities concerning both Brookmeyer himself and twentieth century American jazz composition.

A fourth series, Addendum 1, consists of copies of manuscript scores containing some of Brookmeyer's earliest arrangements: Blue Skies, Dancing in the West, Estrellita, Memphis in June, and Temptation. These additional items were donated April 13, 2018, by Carl Bolte, a pianist who played with him at the Flamingo Club.

Appendix A of the finding aid alphabetically lists all manuscript music titles in the collection. Appendix B contains a selective discography of Brookmeyer’s recorded output, housed in the Marr Sound Archives. Appendix C lists various awards and achievements in Brookmeyer’s career.
