OHAM holds interviews with a number of contemporary jazz innovators, such as composer, trombonist and electronic performance artist George Lewis, and flutist and composer Nicole Mitchell, first woman president of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). Central to OHAM’s earlier jazz interviews is the Duke Ellington Oral History, comprising interviews conducted by OHAM’s founder Vivian Perlis and a number of her students. The project includes an interview with ninety-four musicians and major figures in the jazz world, all of whom either performed, worked with, or simply knew Ellington. Many of these figures are famous in their own right—from social activist and poet Amiri Baraka to jazz greats Lionel Hampton, Mary Lou Williams, Wayne Shorter, and Willie Ruff.
(For additional research material on the work of Duke Ellington, see the Stanley Dance and Helen Oakley Dance Papers in the Irving S. Gilmore Music Library archival collections.)
