Charter Reform in Los Angeles, 1850-2008 A
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO The Rules of Ruling: Charter Reform in Los Angeles, 1850-2008 A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by James Warren Ingram III Committee in charge: Professor Steven P. Erie, Chair Professor David G. Gutierrez Professor Samuel H. Kernell Professor Victor V. Magagna Professor Isaac W. Martin 2008 Copyright James Warren Ingram III, 2008 All rights reserved. The Dissertation of James Warren Ingram III is approved, and it is acceptable in quality and form for publication on microfilm: __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ Chair University of California, San Diego 2008 iii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated two women—my mother, Gerri Dack, and my wife Clarissa Ingram. Without their love and patience, it would not have been possible. My wife, Clarissa has endured my obsession with charter reform in specific and Los Angeles in general far longer than I would care to admit. Her own interests are very different, but her tolerance and intelligence has allowed us to stay close as we develop our divergent intellectual interests. By attending long charter reform meetings and discussing the issues with me over a period of years, she has come to understand the field better than many who consider themselves experts. My mother, Gerri has always encouraged me to think of a larger audience in my intellectual pursuits. She has always valued common sense over fancy theories, and I have relied on my understanding of her sensibilities as a test of whether a particular way of looking at a subject made any sense, or would be a mere exercise in mental gymnastics.

Prologue: “I Made Things Work”
Prologue: “I Made Things Work” The chartered bus carrying impresario Norman Granz and his Jazz at the Philharmonic troupe pulled into the parking lot of the Regent Restaurant in Jackson, Michigan, about sixty-five miles west of Detroit, with a cou- ple of hours to spare before their appearance at the Jackson County Audi- torium on Monday, October 6, 1947. Granz and JATP, as the national concert tours were already known by legions of fans, had been building a reputation for fiery jam sessions of all-star musicians in integrated set- tings since the concerts had begun in his hometown of Los Angeles in July 1944. The bus that night carried Granz, who emceed his shows, and a lineup including tenor saxophonists Coleman Hawkins and Flip Phillips, trumpeter Howard McGhee, trombonist Bill Harris, pianist Hank Jones, drummer J. C. Heard, and bassist Ray Brown—all dressed in tuxedos—as well as the equally resplendent former Count Basie singer Helen Humes. What unfolded at the diner was vintage Granz. An increasingly vocal provocateur on the subject of racism, he had begun campaigning in 1947 for antisegregation contracts across the touring band circuit and without blinking had turned down $100,000 in bookings by promoters who could not abide his terms. As always, it was a headache (though one he gladly bore) finding hotels and restaurants that would accom- modate the racially mixed group. Granz and company often operated from Detroit’s black Gotham Hotel as a temporary hub for concerts in neighboring cities as he strung together smaller dates across the country in between big paydays in the major cities.

Eddie Preston: Texas Trumpeter Fallen Through the Cracks Dave Oliphant
Eddie Preston: Texas Trumpeter Fallen Through the Cracks Dave Oliphant 8 Photo of Eddie Preston from the album Charles Mingus in Paris. Courtesy Christian Rose and Sunnyside Communications. Identifying a jazz musician’s place of birth has interested me ever since my parents gave me a copy of Leonard Feather’s 1962 The New Edition of The Encyclopedia of Jazz. Some thirty years later it became essential for me to know which musicians hailed from my home state of Texas, once I had taken on the task of writing about Texans in jazz history. As a result of this quest for knowledge, I discovered, among other things, that guitarist, trombonist, and 9 composer-arranger Eddie Durham was born and raised in San Marcos, home to Texas State University. Although I never worked my way systematically through the Feather encyclopedia or any subsequent volumes devoted to the identification of musicians’ places and dates of birth, I mistakenly felt confident that I had checked every musician on any album I had acquired over the years to see if he or she was a native Texan. Following the 1996 publication of Texan Jazz, my survey of Texas jazz musicians, I discovered a few Texans and their recordings that I had not been aware of previously. When the opportunity arose, I included them in other publications, such as my 2002 study The Early Swing Era, 1930 to 1941, and my essay “Texan Jazz, 1920- 1950,” included in The Roots of Texas Music. Despite my best efforts to trace the origins of the many jazz musicians I chronicled, it took years before I realized that Eddie Preston (a trumpeter who was born in Dallas in 1925 and died in Palm Coast, Florida, in 2009) was a native of the Lone Star State.
