{"value"=>"<p>Doctor Jazz was composed by Buster Davis and Luther Henderson, with lyrics and book by Buster Davis, orchestrations by Dick Hyman and Sy Oliver, and vocal arrangements by Buster Davis. Additional songs were adapted from various other songwriters and composers.</p> <p>This series contains papers documenting the production of the show, but the bulk of it is composed of scores and parts used in its creation and performance.</p> <p>The papers hold correspondence between the producer, authors, directors and other production personnel; incorporation papers for the Doctor Jazz production company and limited partnership, and a file of permissions from the copyright holders of songs used in the show.</p> <p>The scores contain full orchestrated scores for all the material composed for the show, including some which did not survive to the final version; orchestrations by Dick Hyman for a 1974 taping of the show's arrangements; piano-conductor scores; piano-vocal scores; part books used in the production (often labeled with the name of the musician playing the book); and rehearsal piano-conductor scores and parts. Some of this material is duplicative because there are clean score masters as well as copies with rehearsal and performance notes. The rehearsal and piano-vocal scores may be different arrangements than those used in the final show. Most (but not all) full scores, piano-conductor and piano-vocal scores are labeled with an arranger or orchestrator credit.</p>"}
