From the collection of the legendary Boston jazz promoter Fred Taylor (b. 1930), known for booking jazz clubs Paul's Mall and Jazz Workshop in the 1960's–70's. The musicians he invited to Boston included many greats of the era, such as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Muddy Waters, and Dizzy Gillespie, as well as young performers Bruce Springstein, Billy Joel, and Earth, Wind and Fire. He was the first to book the young Bob Dylan to play in Boston, and also staged Miles Davis' comeback show in 1981. The Music Museum of New England writes: "If you are a jazz musician who’s played in Boston anytime over the past half-century, it’s a good bet you got the gig because of Fred Taylor." (15664)
