Biographical Note

Charles Daly Barnet was born in New York City on October 26, 1913. His parents divorced when he was two, and he was raised in a well-to-do household with his mother and her parents. Barnet’s grandfather, Charles Frederick Daly, was a vice-president for the New York Central Railroad. He attended boarding schools in both New York and Chicago, learned to play the piano as a child, and at the age of eight or nine was given his first saxophone, which quickly became his instrument of choice. In 1929, he was able to put together a small band of musicians for an Atlantic crossing aboard the S.S. Republic, thus becoming a working musician and bandleader as a teenager.

Charlie Barnet formed his first orchestra in 1933, disbanded it in 1937, and formed another band in 1938. Over the years, the size, make-up, and the names of Barnet’s bands changed with some regularity. Names of his groups include: Charlie Barnet All-Stars, The Charlie Barnet Septet, Charlie Barnet and the Skyliners, and The Charlie Barnet Quartet. It is with Charlie Barnet and His Orchestra (active from 1938 to Nov. 1949) that Barnet made a name for himself as bandleader and recording artist; and it is this ensemble that primarily is represented in this collection. Barnet was most popular between the years of 1939 and 1941.

As a bandleader, Barnet was most inspired by Duke Ellington; and as a saxophone player he was most influenced by alto and soprano player Johnny Hodges, and tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins. Barnet is remembered as one of the first white bandleaders to integrate his band, a step variously reported as having begun sometime between 1935 and 1937. The band was also one of the few mostly-white bands to play at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. Among the black musicians he featured were Roy Eldridge, Charlie Shavers, Benny Carter, Frankie Newton, and vocalist Lena Horne. Other noted musicians who played with Barnet throughout his career include Buddy DeFranco, Neal Hefti, Barney Kessel, Dodo Marmarosa, Billy May, Oscar Pettiford, and, in later years, Maynard Ferguson, Doc Severinsen, and Clark Terry. Around 1947, Barnet’s musical style changed from swing to bebop.

Among Barnet’s greatest hits were “Cherokee” (1939), which became his band’s signature tune, and “Skyliner” (1944), which Barnet also composed.

Barnet retired from music in 1949, though he subsequently returned for various tours and gigs into the early 1970s. He worked at various careers after retirement, including as restaurateur in the 1950s. In 1984, Barnet published his memoir, Those Swinging Years: the Autobiography of Charlie Barnet (with Stanley Dance). Barnet married often, possibly between eight and eleven times. He was survived by Betty Thompson Barnet, his wife of thirty-three years, and a son from a previous marriage, Charles D. Barnet, Jr. Suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, Barnet died of pneumonia in San Diego on September 4, 1991.

Scope and Content Note

The Charlie Barnet Collection of Big Band Arrangements is made up entirely of arrangements for approximately 650 songs and instrumental numbers used by Barnet and his band. The majority of these arrangements are represented by full scores, though thirty-seven are represented by parts only, and an additional thirty-one include both a full score and parts. Unless otherwise noted, everything listed is a full score. In a few instances, a score seems to fall somewhere between what would be identified as a full score and a short score (a score that combines, for instance, instrumental parts on one stave, and often includes no piano or rhythm part). Some songs are represented by more than one arrangement. There are twenty-two arrangements for medleys.

Items in the collection are arranged alphabetically by title. Before the materials arrived at the Library, an inconsistent numbering system had been applied to each of the arrangements. It was determined that there was no useful reason for keeping materials in numeric order, however, the numbers have been recorded in the container list and are noted in parentheses beside the titles.

Although most of the scores are undated, it is believed that the majority are from 1939 to 1949. A fire in October 1939 at the Palomar Ballroom in Hollywood resulted in the loss of the band’s arrangements. Evidently Count Basie supplied the band with a few of his arrangements (some by Skippy Martin), and it is possible that one or more of the Basie arrangements is included in this collection. At least one arrangement in the collection appears to date from 1938. There are also a handful of arrangements that may date from 1957 or 1958, and it is speculated that at least one may be from 1963. However, the majority of arrangements date roughly from the World War II period, and serve as a musical reflection of that period—referring directly or obliquely to patriotism, the home front, or the plight of those in the military. Such is the case with the songs “Anchors Aweigh,” “Comin’ in on a Wing and a Prayer,” “G. I. Jive,” “I’ll be seeing you,” “I’ll walk alone,” “One-A in the Army,” “They’re either too young or too old,” and “The Things we did last summer.” Among the songwriters who are particularly well-represented in this collection, with ten or more songs, are: Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, Johnny Burke, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, and Jimmy Van Heusen.

While several of the scores clearly identify the arranger, many do not. We have made every effort to identify the arrangers by matching the handwriting from known arrangers to scores where no arranger is indicated. Researchers should be aware that some scores have been identified in this way. We were also guided by work previously done with the collection by Andrew Homzy of Concordia University.

There are approximately fifty arrangers identified in this collection, including: Billy May with eighty-four arrangements; Andy Gibson with eighty-two; George Siravo with seventy-one; Conn Humphries with forty-nine; William Moore with forty-four; Dave Matthews with thirty-four; Skippy Martin with thirty-one; Neal Hefti with twenty; Ralph Burns with eighteen; Horace Henderson with fifteen; and Bobby Burnett with fourteen. Two different hands possibly have been identified as Charlie Barnet’s own: one hand is represented by thirteen arrangements; the other (identified as [2]) is represented by forty-two arrangements. Other arrangers who are credited include well known names such as Benny Carter, Abe Osser, and Eddie Stress. Several of the Conn Humphries arrangements incorrectly list his last name as “Humphreys” on the scores, but we have corrected and standardized the spelling in this finding aid.

Every effort has been made to identify the songwriters, most of whom are not credited on the scores themselves. The primary resource for this information was The Great Song Thesaurus by Roger Lax and Frederick Smith (Oxford University Press, New York, 1984). Identifications are based primarily on titles and date ranges, and, as is the case with the arrangers, it should be understood that these attributions are provided as possibilities—particularly regarding some of the more obscure titles.

Many of the arrangements feature vocalists, though rarely is a particular vocalist identified. Among the vocalists who are identified by name on some scores are Peanuts Holland, Phil Barton, Frances Wayne, and Kay Starr.
