Local No. 274, the Black musicians union of Philadelphia, was in existence from 1935 to 1971. With members such as John Coltrane and Dizzy Gillespie, Local 274 was an important organization in the development of jazz in Philadelphia. The Clef Club served as a foundation for the city's jazz community, advancing projects to benefit jazz musicians. The Club continued to function as a social club until 1978, when it expanded its activities to include jazz performance, jazz instruction, and the preservation of Philadelphia's rich jazz history. The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts records, 1925-1974, include records of both the Black Musicians Union Local No. 274 and the Clef Club. The records, which appear to be fairly - Page 3 - Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts records comprehensive, consist primarily of administrative records, financial records, and records relating to members. Biography/History The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts was founded in 1966 as the social club of Union Local No. 274 of the American Federation of Musicians. Founded in 1935, Local No. 274 was Philadelphia’s Black musicians union. At a time when the city’s Black musicians struggled for political, economic and cultural recognition, Local No. 274 gave them representation and broke a tradition of segregation. With members such John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Smith, Lee Morgan, “Philly Joe Jones,” Grover Washington Jr., the Heath Brothers, Nina Simone, and Butch Ballard, Local No. 274 was crucial to the growth of a thriving jazz scene in Philadelphia. When it dissolved in 1971, Local No. 274 was the last independent Black musicians union in the United States. The Clef Club was founded by James Adams and members of Local No. 274 as the Local’s social club. Renowned musicians traveled to Philadelphia to visit the Clef Club; it was not unusual to see Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Art Blakey, Dinah Washington, Max Roach and others exchanging jazz ideas in the hallways of the club. The Clef Club eventually became a haven for jazz lovers, who would pack the club on weekends and watch celebrities as they made their flashy entrances. The Club became so popular that it created a “B” membership for jazz lovers and out-of-town musicians. In 1970 it was relocated from 912 South Broad Street to 114 South 13th Street. The Clef Club continued to function as a social club until 1978, when it expanded its activities to include jazz performance, jazz instruction, and the preservation of Philadelphia’s rich jazz history. In 1995, the Clef Club established a new facility on the corner of Broad and Fitzwater Streets that houses classrooms, a performance space, recording facilities, and executive offices. Now known as The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts, the Clef Club is a unique artist-founded and artist-run cultural organization that provides lessons, concerts, cultural events and services to musicians and is committed to the promotion and preservation of jazz music. Scope and Contents This collection, which covers about a 50-year span, includes records of the Black Musicians Union--also known as the Protective Musicians Union, Local No. 274 of the American Federation of Musicians-- as well as records from the union's social arm, the Clef Club. The records, which appear to be fairly comprehensive, consist primarily of administrative records, financial records, and records relating to members. There are many records related to the Club Bar. There are also a large amount of records - Page 4 - Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts records relating to work (performance) opportunities that members were afforded due to their affiliation with the club, as well as records concerning performances organized by the club. Also included are some printed items relating to the union's parent organization, the American Federation of Musicians, and a few photographs, and ephemera such as newspaper clippings and concert programs. The administrative records in this collection include large amounts of meeting minutes (including board meeting minutes and executive committee minutes) and general correspondence and office files. There are many other document types, such as: printed constitution and by-laws; reports, including business agents reports; lists of meeting attendees; two rolodexes; election committee papers, ballots, and tally sheets; contracts and contract forms; union wage scales; "Rules Governing "B" or Social Members Applications"; guest books; and more. There is a significant amount of documentation relating to the the Recording Industries Music Performance Trust Fund, for musical performances at social service organizations such as hospitals. These documents include applications to the Fund, payroll for performances, and reports. There is also a large amount of financial records in the collection, especially receipt books, cash disbursements, financial reports and audits, and check books. Other finanical documents include: receipts and invoices, including those for office and bar supplies; collection registers; tax records; bank records, including deposit slips; cash register tapes; drink and liquor orders; and other ledgers and documents. The member records are principally organized into alphabetical artists' files, containing correspondence with and about members as well as related documents. In addition, the collection includes materials such as: membership file cards; artists' salaries ledgers; summons for contract violations; transfer membership book; life insurance forms and certificates; and personal data sheets. Materials relating to the Black Musicians Union Local No. 274's parent organization include constitution and by-laws of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada, and American Federation of Musicians fee forms. Also included in the collection are published materials relating to music and jazz, including periodicals and journals; books; encyclopedias; sheet music and music scores; and a couple reel-to-reels. There is also a large quantity of blank envelopes, letterhead, and forms.

His elegant artistry lasted only a few years, but he was one of the greatest! History: First musical studies on clarinet in Detroit where he attended Cass Tech. First engagements with Jimmy Raschel and Benny Carew. Joined Earl Hines in 1943 and stayed over two years with the band before settling on the West Coast. Came into prominence through his performances and recordings with the concert promoter Gene Norman and his playing in jam sessions with Dexter Gordon.; his famous recording with Gordon, “The Chase” (1947), resulted from these sessions as did an opportunity to record with Charlie Parker (1947). As a member of Benny Goodman’s small group WG was an important figure in Goodman’s first experiments with bop (1948). He moved to New York with Goodman and in 1948 worked at the Royal Roost, first with Count Basie, then with the resident band led by Tadd Dameron; he made recordings with both leaders. After playing with Goodman’s bigband (1948-49) and recording in Basie’s small group (1950-51), WG returned to freelance work on the West Coast and Las Vegas. He took part in many recorded jam sessions and also recorded with Louie Bellson in 1952-53). The circumstances around his untimely death (1955) is unclear (ref.

  • DENISE KING ! ! Artists Aren’T Made, They Are Born; Born with an Innate Sense of Wonder and a Unique Perspective of the World
    DENISE KING ! ! Artists aren’t made, they are born; born with an innate sense of wonder and a unique perspective of the world. Denise King is no exception. Always having a love of music, it wasn’t until the age of thirteen that she was introduced to Jazz by an uncle, Herbert Tatum, who had an extensive collection of Jazz LPs. This love was further cultivated by family, when a cousin Cynthia, shared her passion for the stylings and energy of Nina Simone. Her "studies" involved hours of listening to the Jazz greats, both vocalists and instrumentalists. Denise borrowed phrasing styles from Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat "King" Cole and Frank Sinatra. She gained an appreciation for lyrics from Lil Jimmy Scott, Nancy Wilson, Carmen McCrae and Nina Simone. Listening as intensely to Jazz as she did R&B or music of her era, she had no idea that her listening sessions were preparing her for a career in music. She was "discovered" by a friend who heard her singing outside of her home in Philadelphia and introduced her to the world of Jazz performance. The early gigs were difficult in that she was painfully stage shy. But with the help of Sam Reed, sax man and leader of the legendary Uptown Theater Orchestra she overcame her stage fright. Her early performance experiences involved sharing the stage with many legends, Butch Ballard, Arthur Harper, Sam Dougherty, Cecil Payne, Jymie Merritt, Bootsie Barnes, Lex Humphries,Phil Wright, Christian McBride, Dexter Wansel, Duane Eubanks, Lonnie Plaxico, Sid Simmons, Dr. Guy Ramsey, Derrick Hodge, Chris Beck, Billy Paul, and many, many more.

  • Johnny Hodges – the Composer -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
    Johnny Hodges – The Composer Compilation by Sven Eriksson Last updated 8May08 Introduction This catalogue was created to bring to light the creative powers of Johnny Hodges as a composer. In a condensed form you will find the melodies credited solely to him and tunes where he is credited as co-composer. The titles are as registered by ASCAP, the US Copyright Office, or the Smithsonian Institute, or as shown on record labels. They are in alphabetical order, with alternative title or spelling, if any. This is not a discography, so only a few examples of recordings are presented. The catalogue numbers used by The New Desor leads you to details for those recordings where Duke Ellington is present in the session. To find out when a tune was created, it is better to look for first recording date instead of registration date – several years may have passed before registration is made. Abbreviations are used in order to save space, in the hope that the short forms are understood. Months are typed in lower-case for visual clarity. For some tunes, no commercial recording has been found. Any comments or help from readers would be appreciated – please e-mail Sven Eriksson at [email protected]. 25 July 1907 – 11 May 1970 Title Composer Records: / Alternative title JH = The New Desor first entry (DExxxx) (spelling variations occur) Johnny Hodges Examples of other recordings: Issue, session date, DE = location.
