Abstract: Jazz musician, composer, and teacher Oliver Lake (b. 1942) is best known as a founding member of the World Saxophone Quartet, the band with which he made his most enduring mark on jazz. Lake was raised in St. Louis, and earned a bachelor's in 1968 from Lincoln University of Missouri. He taught school and played in the St. Louis area, and, from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, he led a musicians' collective, the Black Artist's Group (BAG). Lake lived in Paris from 1972-74, where he worked in a quintet with fellow BAG members. By 1975, he had moved--along with most of his BAG colleagues--to New York, where he became active in what was called by some the "loft jazz" scene.
Contents Note: Music manuscripts (holographs, ozalids, and computer printouts); printed music; book of original poems by Lake; published book of paintings by Lake; correspondence; promotional material.
