Musicians Association Local 533 of the American Federation of Musicians, and Its Role in the Development of Black Music in Buffalo, New York

History of the Colored Musicians Union in Buffalo, New York. This thesis consists of two parts. The first is a chronological narrative which encompasses the full origin, growth, and demise of Local 533. It is modeled after the form of a jazz tune; it contains an intro, opening head, six choruses with an interlude between the third and fourth chorus, shout section, closing head and a coda. The second part consists of two appendices: the first a complete roster of all of Local 533's Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Secretaries, and Treasurers; and the second a chronological listing of out-of-town musicians and bands that played in Buffalo taken from Local 533's contracts, transfer books, and minutes of meetings. Indices of musicians and the places in which they performed are also provided. Includes indexes and bibliography (leaves 400-402). (Note: The PDF of this digitized thesis is missing pages 283 and 288.)
