Topic: What's Happening? / Jazz History Updated Jazz History Updated The Lost Museum Have you ever heard of the New York Jazz Museum? Most people have not. Yet between 1972 and 1977 it was the most significant institution for jazz in the world. This book looks back to present the story of a “Lost Museum.” It was situated in its own two-story building in mid-town Manhattan and had a small staff, an archive that eventually numbered about 25,000 items and extensive programs in New York City and beyond. Some of the programs won awards and most of them were received with widespread acclaim in the media and from jazz fans. There were the Calvert Extra Sunday Concerts – 40 per year, the Jazz Puppet Show, the Jazz Film Festivals, the Jazz Panorama – an audio visual history of jazz, The Jazz Store, Information Center, the exhibits – Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Bird & Diz: The Bebop Era, The Sax Section, Count Basie and His Bands, Billie Holiday Remembered, About John Coltrane and the Jazz Trumpet. Posters and booklets were produced in conjunction with the exhibits and there was so much more. An extended power struggle ensued that eventually caused the Museum’s demise. Entangled in the fatal conflagration was the “Jazz Fraternity,” which included the most prominent names in jazz – musicians, producers, writers, artists, et al. This book tells the whole story for the first time. It was written by Howard E. Fischer, founder of the Museum and its Executive Director. Title – JAZZ EXPOSÉ: THE NEW YORK JAZZ MUSEUM AND Contact: (212) 579-0689 Book Order – only from the author below (prepayment required) or from YBP Library Services.
