He studied music at the Juilliard School for a year (1941), then went to California as assistant music director at the Hollywood studios of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In addition to his film studio work, Jackson also arranged music for orchestra leader Harry James and recorded with Phil Moore's band. He moved back to New York in 1947, where he was billed with Mildred Bailey at the Cafe Society. He continued to pursue a career as arecording artist in his roles as arranger, pianist and ensemble leader, touring widely in North and South America with a trio or quartet. Jackson moved to Toronto, Canada, in 1950. His quartet appeared regularly at the Park Plaza Hotel, and he hosted a weekly program featuring jazz music on Canadian television. Jackson returned to the United States in 1957, and in 1961 he moved back to Southern California, where he settled permanently. He became a part of musical life in Los Angeles and San Diego, playing with small groups and presenting radio programs, including "Jazz with Jackson" on KOGO-FM and "Just Jazz" on KCBA. Calvin Jackson died in Encinitas, California, in 1985. Scope and Content of Collection The Calvin Jackson Papers consist of manuscript music scores and instrumental parts for his own compositions, scores and parts of his arrangements of works by American composers of popular music from the "Golden era," and composers from other periods and traditions such as J. S. Bach and Dimitri Shostakovich. The collection also includes photocopies of Jackson's recorded music playlists and commentaries for radio programs. Not all compositions and arrangements have both a score and a complete set of parts. The material, comprising 23.25 linear feet, dates from the 1940s to the 1980s. It is arranged in three series: 1) COMPOSITIONS BY CALVIN JACKSON, 2) ARRANGEMENTS BY CALVIN JACKSON and 3) PLAYLISTS AND SCRIPTS FOR RADIO PROGRAMS. SERIES 1: COMPOSITIONS BY CALVIN JACKSON This series contains manuscript scores and instrumental parts for Jackson's compositions in song, suite, symphonic and other forms, as well as his texts and music for a television program entitled MUSICAL ANTHOLOGY OF JAZZ. The materials are arranged alphabetically by title. SERIES 2: ARRANGEMENTS BY CALVIN JACKSON This series reflects the range of Jackson's work as an arranger and leader of his own ensemble. While twentieth century North American composers of jazz and popular music predominate, Jackson also re-interpreted folk melodies Calvin Jackson Papers MSS 0028 2 (GREENSLEEVES, SHENANDOAH) as well as works by J. S. Bach, Georges Bizet, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Robert Schumann, and others. Two of his longer arrangements are the "re-visit" to George Gershwin's RHAPSODY IN BLUE, and the anthology, THEME MEDLEY OF JAZZ BANDS. Manuscript scores and parts are filed alphabetically, first by composer's name and then by title of piece. Anonymous works are interfiled by title. SERIES 3: PLAYLISTS AND SCRIPTS FOR RADIO PROGRAMS This series contains photocopies of playlists that Calvin Jackson used for the radio programs that he hosted. The playlists, or record logs, give titles, performers and running times for the selections. The scripts introduce the music and musicians, give background information and comment on the performances.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links. They are not to be shared or downloaded, and the selections therein are only identified by their numbers from the complete list given below. Chapter I: 0001.

We at AllAboutJazz-New York consider that to be New York@Night prime real estate, if you excuse the expression, and use it for celebrating those 4 musicians who have that elusive combination of significance and longevity (our Interview: Mulgrew Miller Hall of Fame, if you will). We are proud of those who have graced our front page, lamented those legends who have since passed and occasionally even fêted 6 by Laurel Gross someone long deceased who deserved another moment in the spotlight. Artist Feature: Microscopic Septet But as our issue count grows and seminal players are fewer and fewer, we must expand our notion of significance. Part of that, not only in the jazz world, has by Ken Dryden 7 been controversy, those players or groups that make people question their strict On The Cover: The Bad Plus rules about what is or what is not whatever. Who better to foment that kind of 9 by Martin Longley discussion than this month’s On The Cover, The Bad Plus, only the third time in our history that we have featured a group.
