Founded in 1944, Jump Records was an independent record label devoted to hot jazz as played by veteran musicians of the 1920s and 1930s, notably Red Nichols, Jack Teagarden, George Van Eps, and others. It was started by two fans, Clive Acker and Ed Kocher in 1944 in Los Angeles, CA. Charles LaVere, a pianist and composer who had played with Glen Gray's Casa Loma Orchestra and other outfits, organized sessions for them and served as a kind of A&R man. Between 1944 and 1955 they released thirty-six 78rpm discs and two 45 rpm extended play discs.
The Jump Records Papers consist of brochures, discographies, historical articles, photographs, and album artwork elements. The master register, in particular, is a key document that links all recording sessions through 1952 with recording masters and record issues.
The Jump Records Papers are organized in 3 series:
