Creator:
Philadelphia Clef Club of the Performing Arts
Extent: 34.33 linear feet
The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts was founded in 1966 as the social club of the Union Local No. 274 of
the American Federation of Musicians. Local No. 274, the Black musicians union of Philadelphia, was in existence from 1935
to 1971. With members such as John Coltrane and Dizzy Gillespie, Local 274 was an important organization in the development
of jazz in Philadelphia. The Clef Club served as a foundation for the city's jazz community, advancing projects to benefit
jazz musicians. The Club continued to function as a social club until 1978, when it expanded its activities to include jazz
performance, jazz instruction, and the preservation of Philadelphia's rich jazz history. The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz
and Performing Arts records, 1925-1974, include records of both the Black Musicians Union Local No. 274 and the Clef Club.
The records, which appear to be fairly comprehensive, consist primarily of administrative records, financial records, and
records relating to members. (View full finding aid.)
