RUTH ELLINGTON COLLECTION, 1940–1991

(ca. 33 cu. ft: 14 DB, 3 (.5)DB, 48 FB, 3 F/O)

Biographical /Historical Note

Born in 1915, Ruth Ellington Boatwright was the sister and only sibling of Edward Kennedy

“Duke” Ellington. Sheltered and doted upon, she was almost sixteen years younger than her

brother. She attended elementary and junior high schools in the Washington Metropolitan area

and finished her basic schooling in New York City where the family moved in the early 1930s.

Her mother, Daisy, died there in 1935, followed by her father, J. E. in 1937. Sometime after those

life altering events, Ms. Ellington was graduated from the New College program at Columbia

University with a degree in biology.

In 1941, Duke Ellington established Tempo Music, and surprised his sister Ruth, by installing her

as president of the company. He had a strong desire to maintain control of his own publishing,

television, and recording rights, and after his sister’s graduation, Duke felt that she could assist in

accomplishing this goal.

Ruth’s duties at Tempo included signing contracts, arranging some travel at Duke’s request, and,

most importantly, keeping Duke’s music copyrighted. According to her own interview

statement, she never arranged bookings. Other interests included hosting a Sunday salon for

musicians, appearing at and listening to recording studio sessions once or twice a year, and

keeping in touch with the older band members’ wives. The older band members (i.e., Johnny

Hodges, Harry Carney, Otto Hardwick, and Arthur Wetsol) along with the earlier singers (Ivie

Anderson, Joya Sherrill, Marie Cole, and Kay Davis) were like family to Ruth.

After Duke’s death in 1974, Ruth maintained Tempo until 1995 when she sold 51% of the

company to a New York publishing firm, Music Sales. Ruth has two sons, Michael and Stephen

James, resides in New York City, and still maintains a great deal of interest in promoting her

brother’s Sacred Concerts.


Scope and Content Note

The Ruth Ellington Collection include music manuscripts (ca.1930- 1981), sound recordings,

Duke and Ruth Ellington’s business and personal correspondence (1958–1991), financial records

covering the years 1940–1988, performances and programs covering the years 1963–1989,

numerous awards and honors to Ellington and the orchestra, and personal papers relating to the

Ellington family. Also among the materials are minutes of business meetings, letters, and

newspaper clippings relating to the Duke Ellington Society in New York city, the certificate of

incorporation and invitation cards for the Ellington Cancer Center, and slides, film, and home

videos. The collection is arranged into eleven series.

Series 1: SOUND RECORDINGS, ca. 1926 - 77 (35 shoeboxes) is divided into nine subseries.

Series 1A includes various Duke Ellington Concerts from 1945 through 1952 and is arranged

in chronological order. The concerts were recorded at the Civic House Opera in Chicago, the

Metropolitan Opera in New York and radio stations WWDC, WJZ, and WABC in Washington,

DC and New York, respectively. Series 1B, Duke Ellington Volumes 1 - 58 is an anthology of

Duke Ellington organization recordings roughly arranged by the collection creators in

chronological order (ca. 1926- 1940). The series is listed in order by volume number. Series 1C

is Duke Ellington and His Orchestra. Included here are compositions created for or by

members of the Duke Ellington organization including recordings of a small combo lead by Billy

Strayhorn. Series 1D, Duke Ellington Jazz Society Guest Talks 1-8 and 10 - 21 (ca,1960-

1964) consist of comments and discussions of guests invited to the Duke Ellington Society

meetings in (New York). Contained among the materials are interviews/discussions of Clark

Terry, Rex Stewart, Ray Nance, Sonny Greer, Harry Carney, Jimmy Hamilton, Mercer Ellington,

and Billy Strayhorn, among others. Each session includes one to four tapes. Contained in Series

1E Interviews (ca 1946-66) are five tapes that appear to be from radio programs. Tapes one and

two are part of the show Cavalcade from April, 1946. Tape three is the U.S. Savings Bond radio

program, “Guest Star” in which Ellington was the guest in October 1950. Tape four is an air

check from an interview by Joe Di Natale in 1966. Represented in Series 1F Miscellaneous are

Alice Babs with the Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester, Ella Fitzgerald recording sessions,

performances by Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and the Ruth Ellington James show of May,

1952. This series is a mixture of instrumental and vocal works composed by Ellington and

works that may have been performed on Ellington programs at some time. Many of the

performers in this series are not identified in or on the recordings. Series 1G Non-Ellington

Materials encompasses recordings that appear to have no relationship to the Ellington

organization. Among them are included some works of Richard Strauss, Henry Busse, and

Claude Debussy. [Also included in this series are three and a half shoeboxes of unidentified tunes

and compositions that do not appear to have any relationship to the music or personnel in the

Ellington organization. Some of these are snippets, some are unintelligible, many are

unfinished. Some even appear to be materials that were erased. Sometimes no music or other

sound was recorded over these erased tapes (Comment from Chief Archivist John Fleckner

7/25/00 “These should be removed and destroyed - - they have no value”)].


Series 2: MUSIC, ca. 1930 - 81 (48 flat boxes and three oversized flat storage boxes) materials

include original manuscripts (parts and scores), copy scores, lead, lyric and copyright sheets,

published music and arrangements of compositions by Duke Ellington, his main collaborator

Billy Strayhorn and many of the band members including Johnny Hodges and Cat Anderson.

The bulk of the collection is music (consisting of scores, lyric and melody sheets or melody with

chord changes) from Tempo Music Inc. used to establish copyright. Although span dates range

from 1930 - 81, the bulk of materials range in date from 1942 when Tempo was established until

Duke Ellington’s death in 1974. Of particular interest are the Strayhorn manuscripts and

compositions (some before the Ellington-Strayhorn partnership), early arrangements of Black,

Brown, and Beige (the scripts from Black, Brown, and Beige, along with the negative book for

the same piece), several negatives for Pousse Cafe; scores and parts (seemingly complete) for A

Drum Is a Woman, and quite a few lead sheets for the multi movement work The River.

The music manuscripts in Series 2 have been organized into four Subseries. Each Subseries has

its own container list. The bulk of the material is located in Subseries 2A: Music Manuscripts

comprising scores and parts composed and arranged by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and

others for performance by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra. Scattered throughout this series are

arrangements for the Ellington Orchestra by Mary Lou Williams, Tadley Dameron and Buck

Clayton among others. The titles range from short songs to large-scale, extended or multi

movement works and are arranged alphabetically. The fifty-nine extended works by Ellington

and other collaborators--most notably Billy Strayhorn--and two suites by Mercer Ellington are

interfiled alphabetically and distinguished in the finding aid by capital letters and bold text.

Subseries 2B: Manuscript Notebooks & Untitled Music consists of one cubic foot of bound

manuscript notebooks and loose manuscript pages including ones by Ellington, Strayhorn and

Tom Whaley. These “sketchbooks” are particularly valuable and fragile and contain many

untitled compositions. The notebooks are available to researchers with special instructions for

handling. Subseries 2C: Tempo Copyright Scores consists of one cubic foot of copyright

sheets for other musicians who were published by Tempo Music, Incorporated most notably

Randy Weston, Dollar Brand and Oscar Pettiford. The material is arranged alphabetically by

composer and the titles arranged alphabetically within each folder. Subseries 2D:

Uncopyrighted Submissions consists of one box of songs submitted to Duke Ellington but most

likely never copyrighted by Tempo Music, Incorporated. Some folders contain correspondence

to Ellington from the composer.

The material in this series complements the music in Series 1: Music Manuscripts of the Duke

Ellington Collection and provides keys to many proper titles for compositions particularly for

the extended works. The titles in Subseries 2A are catalogued in a searchable database and

available on the Internet by title (web address: www.siris.si.edu). Please note permission to

perform or publish must be obtained from the copyright holders. Series 3: PERSONAL PAPERS and CORRESPONDENCE, 1958–1991 (two document boxes)

contains materials relating to personal and professional business of the Ellington family and


organization. Included among the correspondents are Don George, the White House, the Negro

Actors Guild, Leopold Stokowski, Martin Williams, and various booking agents. A sampling of

topics addressed include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Duke Ellington restaurants, taxes,

royalties, contracts, and production of the concerts of Sacred Music. Also included are sympathy

cards, birth certificates, health insurance records, an autopsy report, and other background

information on the Ellington family. Scope and Content Note, contd

This series includes four VHS copies of home movies shot by Ellington Orchestra member,

baritone saxophonist Harry Carney during Orchestra tours. The footage includes the Orchestra

as footage shot at social gatherings, and apparently during sightseeing tours taken by Carney and

other members of the aggregation.

of materials was received from Mrs. Boatwright (Ruth Ellington) in 1993.
