10.5 linear feet including

3 volumes, photographs and 17 audio discs

 

 

DATES: 1860-1888. ca. 1920-1986. [Bulk: ca. 1920-1975.]

 

 

PROVENANCE:

 

The manuscripts described herein were received from Ray Avery, Los Angles, California, by the Center for Popular Music in June 1987 along with other materials described below.  Much of the material in Series I-VI and VII had been collected or created by Avery over a number of years.  Some of the Paul Whiteman, Ferde Grofe, and Johnny Mercer manuscripts in Series VII appears to have been in the possession of the performer named at one time.

 

When received from Ray Avery this collection included books about black history, especially black music and musicians, and sound recordings by black and/or jazz musicians.  These materials, which are listed in Appendices I and II, have been transferred to the book and sound recording collections.  All other books and song folios, photographs and vertical file materials not appropriate to the series with which they were filed have also been transferred to other collections; these materials are listed in Appendix III along with materials which have been filed in oversize cabinets.

 

As received this collection also included ca. 1400 hundred pieces of sheet music, which have been maintained as a separate unit within the sheet music collection.  A substantial portion of this material consists of series of plantation (black stereotype) songs, rags, and jazz blues titles.  Also included are series of early lithographs; E.T. Paul covers; patriotic songs; songs from World War I, World War II and other wars; and songs about automobiles and flying machines and small sets with artifact value, with dance names in the title, from motion pictures and topical (e.g. sinking of the Titanic) songs.  Sheet music filed with manuscripts has been filed at the end of the Avery sheet music collection.

 

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH:

 

Ray Avery completed high school at Big Bear Lake, California, in 1936 and enrolled at the University of California at Los Angles in 1938.  He left UCLA before graduation to serve with the Army Air Force in the China/Burma/India theater.

 

While a student at UCLA he began collecting jazz music, an interest which led him to open a rare record store specializing in jazz in 1948.  By 1968 he not only operated two stores (one in Glendale, one in Los Angles) but had become a major figure in the world of California jazz collectors and promoters and had participated in jazz festivals throughout the world.  He also found time to pursue his second hobby, photography, in which he had become interested in 1953.

 


SCOPE and CONTENT:

 

This collection of manuscripts, printed ephemeral materials, sound recordings, monographs and sheet music assembled by Ray Avery reflects his lifelong interest in and career involvement with jazz music and his interest in black history which developed from his musical interests.

 

Included in the manuscript portion of the collection are concert announcements, programs and posters; newspaper and magazine clippings; newsletters from jazz and black history organizations; discographies, some compiled by Avery; record company advertisements and posters; press releases from performers, promoters and venues; and other miscellaneous materials organized by Avery in three series: black history subject files; a "jazz scrapbook", and subject files. The last series also contains information on other aspects of American entertainment, particularly in the Los Angles, California, area.  There is considerable overlap in coverage and materials among these three series.

 

Additional information on jazz may be found in the collection of flyers, broadsides, programs and other mementos which document several trips Avery made to New Orleans, Louisiana, for jazz festivals and related events.  These materials are filed together in a separate series which also includes ca. 900 black and white and color prints and color slides.

 

Two additional series, one of record company announcements and one of record covers (primarily from multi-disc sets of 78s), along with the sound recordings listed in Appendix II document the portrayal of blacks and black history in recorded American music as well as performances by black entertainers and other jazz musicians.  Similar information on the portrayal of blacks in printed American music may be found in the collection of sheet music which Avery donated to the Center.

 

Avery also collected concert programs, business papers, clippings, photographs, correspondence, manuscript sheet music, manuscript sound recordings and other documents from four performers influential in the development of American popular music, especially jazz: Paul Whiteman, Ferdinand Grofe, Johnny Mercer and Duke Ellington.  Included in this series (which is organized in four subseries) are manuscript sound discs recorded by Ferdinand Grofe, Bing Crosby and others and diaries, 1860-1888, kept by two of Grofe's grandfathers.  The sound discs have been transferred to digital audio tape and described by the Center audio specialist.  Logs of these tapes can be found in Appendix IV along with a log of tapes copied from similar materials held by Trinity College, Hartford CT.

 

Two scrapbooks filed at the end of the collection include not only personal mementos created and/or collected by Avery but also materials from jazz festivals around the world which he attended and a brief 16 mm color film of a commercial for his Los Angles record store.

 


SERIES DESCRIPTION:

 

Series I: Black History Subject Files

ca. 1950-1986

.75 l.f. (Boxes 1-2)

 

Concert announcements, newspaper and magazine clippings, newsletters, and miscellaneous announcements about black performers and entertainers; political and social leaders; cultural events; museums; and research collections.  Also black history postage stamps and a few scattered photographs and artifacts.  Arranged alphabetically by person/subject.

 

Note: Related and/or overlapping material on black jazz performers and organizations is filed in Series II: "Jazz Scrapbook" and Series III, New Orleans.  Sheet music by black composers and/or performers removed from this series has been filed at the end of the Ray Avery sheet music collection.

 

 

Series II: "Jazz Scrapbook"

ca. 1940-1980s

.75 l.f. (Boxes 3-4)

 

(This material was labeled "Jazz Scrapbook" by Ray Avery but was in fact an accordion folder of loose clippings and other material which have been filed in folders.)

 

Newspaper and magazine clippings; Avery's typescripts of biographical/discographical material, some copied from elsewhere; concert and club announcements; discographies; record advertisements; posters; press releases; and scattered periodicals and similar materials related to jazz music. Arranged alphabetically by performer/organization/subject/venue/title.

 

Note: Related material on some black jazz performers is found in Series I, Black History Subject Files, Series III, New Orleans and Series IV, Subject Files.  Related material on white jazz performers is found in Series III, Subject Files.

 

 

Series III. New Orleans

1940-1982.

.75 l.f. (Boxes 5-7)

 

The Averys appear to have made three trips to New Orleans: one in the 1940s, one in the mid-1970s and one in the early 1980s.  The material in this series was generated by these trips and is focused primarily, although not exclusively, on jazz.  The material includes flyers, broadsides, programs, tickets, and other mementos, arranged loosely by trip by Avery; 4x5 and 8x10 black and white photographs from the Averys 1940s trip; and color slides and photographs from the two later trips.  The material is arranged as listed.

 

The early (black and white) photographs include tourist attractions, performers and New Orleans architecture and street life.  Most of the 8x10 black and white photographs are duplicates of the 4x5 photographs.  Later (color) photographs and slides include pictures of the New Orleans Heritage Festival, tourist attractions, performers, and New Orleans street life and architecture.  Some slides are duplicates of the color photographs.

 

 

Series IV. Subject Files

ca. 1940-1986.

4.5 l.f. (Boxes 8-17)

 

Clippings, concert announcements, correspondence, scattered issues of periodicals and other miscellaneous materials related to American entertainment, primarily in the Los Angles, California, area.  Arranged alphabetically by performer/ venue/subject.

 

Note: Avery at times filed multiple copies of items in different locations within the series (i.e. a festival flyer may appear under "New Orleans", "Jazz" and "Legends of Dixieland"); these duplicates have been left in place.  Multiple duplicates filed in a single location have been weeded.  Related but non-duplicate material may  also be filed in all three locations.

 

Note: Related material on black performers is found in Series I, Black History Subject Files.  Related material on selected jazz artists is found in Series II "Jazz Scrapbook".  Related material on New Orleans jazz is found in Series III, New Orleans.

 

 

Series V. Record Covers

Undated.

1.25 l.f. (Boxes 18-20)

 

Covers from multi-disc sets, primarily 78s, and albums by/about black music and musicians and/or related to jazz and jazz events (e.g. festivals).  Some but not all appear to have been removed from discs collected by Avery which are listed in Appendix II.  The covers are arranged first alphabetically by company name, then by issue number, except that covers for which no company was apparent were filed first.

 

 

Series VI. Record Company Announcements

1970-ca. 1985

.50 l.f. (Boxes 21-22)

 

Promotional postcards sent to dealers, 1970-ca.1985, by record companies.  Typically these announcements have artwork on one side and critical praise on the other.  Announcements for radio programs give the dates, stations and cities airing the programs. Country, pop, jazz and other artists are represented.  Also scattered ticket stubs, primarily for the Monteray Jazz Festival.  Arranged alphabetically by performer.

 

 

Series VII. Performer Files

1860-1888. 1920-1972

1.00 l.f.  20 manuscript sound recordings. (Boxes 23-29)

 

This series consists of materials by and about 4 performers arranged in sub-series by performer: (A)Paul Whiteman; (B)Ferde Grofe; (C)Duke Ellington; and (D) Johnny Mercer.   Material in all sub-series except (C) appears to have been in the possession of the performer named at one time.

 

Note: In this series duplicates within files/subseries were removed; those which appeared in more than one sub-series were not. Sheet music by Whiteman, Mercer

and Ellington filed in subseries A, C, and D has been removed and filed at the end of the Ray Avery sheet music collection.

 

A note about photographs located in the Performer Files Series VII: Some photographs were transferred from the Iconographic biographical files to Manuscripts in 1998.  Subjects include Duke Ellington, Ferde Grofe, Johnny Mercer, and Paul Whiteman. The original photographs are in a box labeled Ray Avery Photographs Box 1/1 located in the Manuscripts section of the stacks. Photocopies of photographs are filed in the subseries locations and indicated as such.

 

Subseries A: Paul Whiteman

1920-ca. 1935

.25 l.f. (Box 23)

Concert programs, sheet music and photographs (photocopies) of Paul Whiteman and/or his band including Ferde Grofe, arranged as listed.

 

Subseries B: Ferdinand Grofe

1860-1888. ca. 1920-1970.

1.00 l.f. 17 manuscript sound recordings. (Boxes 24-27)

Radio scripts, manuscript and annotated printed music, clippings, photographs (photocopies), biographical releases, programs and announcements  documenting the performing and composing career of Ferdinand Grofe.  Scattered personal correspondence and business and legal records.  Diaries and daybooks, 1860-1888, kept by Grofe's grandfather Bernard Bierlich, who was concert master of the Los Angles symphony, and another grandfather, who was a chemist in Germany.  Scrapbook of clippings, programs and scattered correspondence tracing Grofe's career, 1924-1929. [Similar volumes are held by the Library of Congress.]  The sub-series is arranged by source/type of material as listed.

 

15 sound discs, ca. 1940's.  Home recordings in a variety of sizes, speeds and media including Grofe's "Death Valley Suite" performed by the Wayne State University Band and an interview with Grofe by  WDET; several popular songs performed by Grofe's granddaughter Francis; "Prisoner of Love" performed by Bing Crosby(?); and a number of piano, vocal and orchestral renditions of popular songs and of compositions by Grofe performed by unidentified musicians.  The log made by the audio specialist (Appendix IV) when these discs were transferred to digital audio tape in April 1989 lists the contents of each disc in detail.

 

Appendix IV also includes a log of audio tape copies of similar sound discs held by Trinity College, Hartord CT, some of which duplicate the Center's discs and some of which do not.

 

Also two glass discs recorded by NBC which are labelled "Ferdinand Grofe's March for Americans 14 May 1944" and "Ferdinand Grofe's 'Sob Sister'" which were not playable and therefore were not transferred to digital tape.

 

All discs are filed with other manuscript sound recordings.    Digital audio tape copies (TCD-0082 A/B) of Center discs and of discs held by Trinity College (TCA-0082C/E) are filed with other archival sound recordings.  Reference use audio cassette copies of Center discs (TCA-0082 A&B) are filed with commercial audio cassette tapes.

.5 l.f. (2 volumes) (Boxes 30-31)

RAY AVERY COLLECTION                                                                                 

86-009 SCRAPBOOKS– PHOTOCOPIES

 

(Located in Reading Room on top of Vertical File Cabinets)

 

This notebook documents the Ray Avery scrapbooks titled “Postcards I” and “Postcards II” in the condition and arrangement in which they were originally received.  These photocopies provide a record of the arrangement of the materials, and not necessarily their content.  The photocopies of the scrapbook pages are available for research.  The original scrapbooks were dismantled and placed in acid-free pages and notebooks located in the Manuscript section of the stacks in the Avery collection, Series VIII, Box 30 and Box 31.

 

Ray Avery may have assembled and placed all of the materials found in the scrapbooks, but it is possible that a member of his family or someone else created it.  Please see the inventory description in the Special Collections Inventory notebooks located in the main reading room for further information.
