  • ABSTRACT “Where East Texas Dances”: the Cooper Club Of
    ABSTRACT “Where East Texas Dances”: The Cooper Club of Henderson, Rusk County, and Popular Dance Bands, 1932-1942 Michelle Linsey Holland, M.A. Mentor: Thomas L. Charlton, Ph.D. A historical study of the Cooper Club in Henderson, Texas, which was open from 1932 to 1942, uncovers an exciting period in both American and East Texas history. Nationally, dance orchestras embarked on tours of the United States, playing one-night stands in small towns. Locally, the nightclub existed during the great East Texas oil boom. Under the management of owner Hugh Cooper, the Cooper Club became a staple for music lovers in East Texas who appreciated its elegant atmosphere and high caliber of entertainment. Local, regional, and national dance bands played one-night stands and brought to the oil field the latest in popular sweet music, swing, and jazz. The Cooper Club has significance and is deserving of scholarly research, for it shines light on the social and cultural history of Henderson, Texas, from 1932 to 1942, as well as the excitement of famous orchestras coming to a small town.

  • Johnson, Jay Cee (JC) Collection, 1896-1981
    Jay Cee (J. C.) Johnson Collection (September 14, 1896-February 27, 1981) BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Jay Cee (J. C.) Johnson, a Jazz and Pop composer, was often referred to as the “composer’s ‘composer.’” Johnson was born in Chicago, Illinois, on September 14, 1896, and died on Friday, February 27, 1981, at St. Luke’s Hospital in Manhattan (New York City), at the age of 84. He received early education in the Chicago Public School System. His mother, Ellen, and his father—who worked as a waiter on the railroad, was away from home most of the time—is unknown. J. C. expressed an interest in music at an early age, but his mother, who sang in the church choir, did not encourage her son to pursue a career in music. Later, while studying the violin, a friend began to give him piano lessons, and because of his attention dedication sounds better in learning to play, his mother decided that this would be his instrument of choice. At the age of 19, following the death of his mother, he moved to New York City, where he began to study piano with a man named Sam Patterson. Around 1920, he began to work as a session pianist, working with singers such as Ethel Waters, who sung in his first recorded hit titled “You Can’t Do What My Last Man Did,” and would go on to record many of his songs. Johnson would go on to compose more songs, including his first version of “Travel’ lin All Alone,” with Billie Holliday as vocalist (one of her first significant hit songs).
