Scope and Content Note

The Charles Mingus Collection covers the music career of this celebrated African American jazz musician/composer from
about 1939, the year he composed What Love and Half Mast Inhibition, to his death on January 5, 1979. Originally
estimated to have an item count of less than 10,000, the collection actually contains nearly 15,000 items. The Mingus

Collection represents the first multi-format jazz collection processed in the Library of Congress Music Division to include
holograph music manuscripts and sound recordings.
The purchase of the Mingus archives by the Library of Congress marks its first acquisition of a jazz composer's written
works (both music and literary) and papers. On June 1, 1993, the Library celebrated this momentous occasion with a press
conference and lecture conducted by Sue Mingus and Mingus scholar Andrew Homzy. The event culminated on June 4,
1993, with an all-Mingus concert performed by Mingus Dynasty, a jazz orchestra dedicated to the memory and music of
Charles Mingus, at the National Academy of Sciences Auditorium.
The Series in the collection include Music, Writings (by and about Mingus), Business Papers, Printed Matter,
Iconography, Personal, and Sound Recordings. Each series is rich with Mingus effects and memorabilia depicting his
experiences in the world of jazz and some aspects of his private life.
Music Series: Undoubtedly, the central focus of the Mingus Collection is the Music series, the manuscripts in particular. It
includes all of his major original compositions as well as his manuscript arrangements of music by others. There are
numbers assigned to some pieces - including his adaptations of works by others - but not to all. His original works and his
arrangements share one numerical sequence rendering a numerical listing unwieldy, if not confusing. Thus, the music
manuscripts are divided into three subseries: Original Music Manuscripts, Mingus Manuscript Arrangements of Music
by Others, and Manuscript Music by Others. The Printed Music subseries comprises a small segment of the collection,
and is sub-divided into two smaller groupings: Printed Music by Mingus and Printed Music by Others.
Writings Series: This Series is divided into three subseries: Writings By Mingus, Writings About Mingus, and
Miscellaneous Writings. The highlight of the Writings By Mingus subseries is Mingus' controversial autobiographical
work, Beneath the Underdog, in several versions. Mingus, a proud man, was very much aware of his contributions to the
American music landscape in general and to the jazz idiom in particular. This is evident in a one page typescript titled, "A
Living Benefit for Mingus". Also included in this subseries are Mingus' manuscript liner notes (written for record album
jackets), and articles published in serials.
The Writings About Mingus subseries is principally a collection of articles written about Charles Mingus and his music,
some found in serials while others are photocopies of loose clippings. The articles published in serials are divided by
publication locale (domestic or foreign) and are arranged alphabetically by article title. The loose clippings, photocopies of
the originals, also separated by publication locale, are arranged chronologically by date. This subseries also includes
clippings covering particular subjects relating to Mingus and his music. Filed under subject headings, contents here include:
articles on Mingus' biography; articles and reviews relating to his literary work Beneath the Underdog; articles on Mingus
Dynasty ( the New York- based jazz orchestra established after his death as a tribute to him and his contributions in music);
and articles about his widow, Susan Graham Mingus. The Writings About Mingus subseries concludes with a listing of
newsletters, press releases, and bulletins relating to Mingus and his music career.
In Miscellaneous Writings are written works on a variety of subjects not necessarily relating to Mingus. The material in
this subseries is divided further into three categories: Film Work (Mingus was sought on several occasions to score music
for film), Poetry, and Short Stories. The Poetry segment is of particular interest because it contains a work titled Four
Poems for Charles Mingus by Lyon Phelps, and a poem written for Mingus’ close friend and colleague Eric Dolphy, titled
"Blues for Eric Dolphy," by John Sinclair.
Business Papers Series: Charles Mingus headed three music business ventures: Charles Mingus Enterprises, Inc., Debut
Records, and the Jazz Workshop, Inc. Mingus' business acumen and meticulous record-keeping is legendary. An
examination of the Business Papers series is a testament to both qualities. Although Mingus did not record dates of his
music compositions, it is quite apparent that he realized the importance of documenting everything he considered to be a
"business related" matter. He was particularly persnickety about dispensing cash to fellow musicians. He literally used
anything that could be written on as a receipt when paying the musicians for services rendered; he had them sign it,
regardless of medium: these unique items are included in the collection.
Although there is not a series dedicated solely to correspondence, there is correspondence found throughout the collection.
The correspondence in Business Papers, for instance, is quite extensive in that it contains letters to and from three Charles
Mingus business entities, and includes names of jazz-world figures such as musicians Sam Most, Max Roach and Dannie
Richmond, record producers Teo Macero and Clive Davis, and poet Langston Hughes.

Printed Matter Series: There are six subseries in the Printed Matter series: Articles & Clippings, Books and Pamphlets,
Organizations and Affiliations, Programs, Promotional Material, and Miscellaneous. Much of the material in this series
does not directly relate to Mingus, but represents his personal collection. The Articles & Clippings and Miscellaneous
subseries consist of his personal collection of articles, magazines, newsletters, and press releases not relating to himself. On
the other hand, the Organizations and Affiliations, Programs, and Promotional Material subseries do reflect material
generated by Mingus' personal and professional life.
Iconography Series: The Mingus Collection contains photographs, artwork, and three dimensional items, filed in the
Iconography series. This series is divided into four subseries: Photographs, Awards and Award Nominations, Artwork,
and Picture Post Cards. The Photographs subseries contains images of Mingus and his family (including his parents), as
well as photographs of fellow musicians such as Eric Dolphy, Dannie Richmond, Max Roach, Oscar Pettiford, and Miles
Davis.
Mingus was the recipient of several awards and award nominations, such as the Newport Jazz Festival Hall of Fame Award
in July 1976, and the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award in 1990. In January 1973, Mingus was nominated for a Grammy
Award by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS).
The Artwork subseries is fairly small, but is very interesting in that it includes record album cover art layouts for Debut
Records, some in color. There is one painting by Mingus acquaintance Elliott Cola, who is also represented by music
manuscripts (apparently gifts to Mingus) in the Collection, (see Music Manuscripts by Others subseries).
Charles Mingus, among many things, was a traveler. His career as a jazz bassist and businessman afforded him the
opportunity to tour the world, his family vacations outside the United States on several occasions notwithstanding. As many
travelers do, Mingus collected picture post cards as mementos of his trips. Unmarked and arranged alphabetically by
subject, these items are filed in the Picture Postcards subseries of the Iconography series.
Personal Series: The Personal series incorporates Mingus' private archives and an unusual collection of physical effects
associated with him. There are six subseries in this series: Correspondence (fairly small compared to the volume of
business correspondence), Financial Papers, Legal File, Medical File, Travel, and Miscellaneous.
The Correspondence subseries in the Personal series consists of letters, greeting cards and personal notes from family
members, including his sister Grace Mingus, second wife Celia Mingus, and widow Sue Mingus, and friends such as author
Helen Gurley Brown, musician Roy Ayers, and comedian/social activist (as well as health advisor to Mingus), Dick
Gregory.
The Financial Papers document Mingus’ family assets, banking history, household expenses, and tax records. This
material is comprehensive in breadth and gives a fairly clear picture of his personal financial history.
The Legal File includes divorce papers between Charles and Celia Mingus, personal legal correspondence, and documents
related to his dealings with the New York City court system.
The Medical File subseries chronicles matters relating to Mingus' health concerns: correspondence from physicians,
prescriptions for medications, brochures from health clinics, and statements and receipts for medical services rendered.
As mentioned earlier, Charles Mingus traveled extensively both professionally and privately: the Travel subseries in the
Personal series is a record of his personal travels. Following a pattern similar to that of his business dealings, Mingus
retained almost everything, especially when finances were involved. The file contains most, if not all, receipts from travel
expenses for lodging, meals, and transportation. There is a section in the Travel series dedicated to printed matter acquired
while "on the road". It includes maps, travel brochures, and foreign news clippings.
The final section in the Personal series is the Miscellaneous subseries. This contains unusual items that fit no other
category of material in the collection. The file includes two calendars of jazz musicians (1973 and 1979), tarot cards, a lock
of hair from Eric Mingus' (Charles' son) first haircut, business cards given to Mingus, and a collection of telephone
numbers written on a variety of media. One peculiar yet interesting item in this file is a book titled Cultivation of Personal
Magnetism in Seven Progressive Steps, by Edmund Shaftesbury, with the mid-section carved out to house Mingus' firearm.
Recorded Sound: Both voice and music recordings are included in this series. The series is sub-divided by format, which
includes acetate and vinyl discs (with metal parts), cassettes, and reel-to-reel tapes on five-, seven- and ten-inch reels. The

range of subject matter includes voice recordings of interviews with Mingus, Mingus composing at the piano, rehearsals,
live performances, studio recordings, and pressed disc recordings.
These recordings are not completely inventoried; most will be transferred to the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and
Recorded Sound Division (M/B/RS) where they will be prepared for preservation and inclusion in the Library's recorded
sound collection.
