- Scope and Content Note
- Consists of photographic materials including black and white and color prints and negatives taken by Floyd and Lucille Levin at social gatherings with jazz musicians, jazz festivals and concerts, and other events held by jazz organizations of which the Levins were active members. While many remain unidentified, those that are identified document jazz festivals primarily in Los Angeles and New Orleans, including the Southern California Hot Jazz Society and the New Orleans Jazz Festival as well as the opening of exhibitions related to jazz musicians such as "Duke" (Edward Kennedy) Ellington. Also included among the materials are photographs taken at artists' birthday parties, including those of Milt Hinton, "Flip Phillips" (Joseph Edward Filipelli), Abe Lincoln, "Rosy" (James) McHargue, "Spud" (Lyle) Murphy, and Ruby Braff. These photographs and negatives, along with many of the materials found within Series 5, Artists Files, 1880-2010, undated, demonstrate the extent of the Levins's personal relationships and social activities. The materials in this series are arranged in chronological order.
