Jazz Workshop, 1958-1978
|
|
Mingus founded Jazz Workshop in 1955 as a music publishing company so he could
maintain control and rights over his compositions. Jazz Workshop was also the
name of a rotating ensemble that included musicians such as Charles McPherson,
Jaki Byard (who also arranged for the group), Dannie Richmond, and Jimmy
Knepper. In addition to performing and recording albums, the Jazz Workshop
ensemble played music by young composers so they could hear their music played
by a live ensemble. The subseries contains contracts, correspondence, and
financial papers. |

This series contains materials from Charles Mingus's life outside his three
businesses, though it contains similar documents: correspondence, financial
papers, legal papers, medical records, and records of expenses, such as invoices
and receipts. Unlike the Business Papers series, the travel documents in this
series are mostly brochures and maps and do not contain itineraries. The files
series "Inscribed Material" consists of books whose authors inscribed their work
to Mingus. "Realia" contains Mingus’s tarot cards, hair from his son Eric’s first
haircut, and Cultivation of Personal Magnetism in Seven
Progressive Steps, a book with pages cut out to store his firearm. |
