Album advertisements, Mingus’s and Debut Records artists’ concert and album
reviews, and periodicals comprise the Clippings series. Most of the clippings
concern concerts, including those Mingus gave in Europe and Asia, or biographical
exposés. Mingus kept periodicals and articles about major historical events or
articles on topics of personal interest, which are included in this series. Some
clippings have been photocopied due to physical deterioration. The series is
divided into two file groups: Articles, which are
single articles cut or photocopied from newspapers or magazines, and Periodicals, which contain entire magazines. Several
articles are posthumous tributes to Mingus published after his death in 1979. |
