Biographical / Historical
Milt Gabler was born in Harlem, New York on May 20, 1911. He began managing his father's radio and small appliance store, the Commodore Radio Shop, while still a teen. Gabler convinced his father to expand the business and sell audio recordings. Soon Gabler pioneered the concept of marketing reissues by leasing discontinued masters from various record companies (mainly Victor, Columbia, Vocalion, and Brunswick). Eventually the Gablers changed the name of the family business to the Commodore Music Shop. By the early 1930's Gabler founded the first mail order record label, United Hot Clubs of America, to reach an even greater audience of jazz enthusiasts.
In 1935 Gabler began publicizing the music shop by staging a series of Sunday afternoon jam sessions at several different recording studios along 52nd Street. Later the jam sessions moved to the nearby jazz club, Jimmy Ryan's.
In 1938 Gabler founded the Commodore music label. It was the first American recording label created exclusively for jazz music. A recording session for Eddie Condon's Windy City Seven at Brunswick Studios was the first original Commodore recording. In 1939 Gabler recorded Billie Holiday's controversial "Strange Fruit", which became Commodore's first major commercial success. Other notable Commodore artists include Sidney Bechet, Jonah Jones, Peck Kelley, Red Norvo, Ralph Sutton, and Teddy Wilson.
Gabler began as a staff producer at Decca Records in 1941 and worked with artists from many different musical genres: Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Brenda Lee, the Weavers, and Louis Jordan, among others. Gabler also began writing lyrics in collaboration with Decca songwriters/composers. In 1954 Gabler produced the first recordings by Bill Haley and the Comets. In addition, Gabler continued to run the Commodore recording label until 1957. Gabler also managed the Commodore Music Shop until 1958, when he began working full-time at Decca as Vice-President in Charge of Artists and Repertoire.
Throughout the 1960's Gabler served as lyricist in a number of collaborations with Bert Kaempfert and Herbert Rehbein. Gabler retained his influential position at Decca until 1974 when the corporation moved to the West Coast. Through the Decca years, Gabler had saved the Commodore masters and in 1974 began to reissue the recordings through Atlantic, Columbia Special Products, and finally United Hot Clubs of America. In 1987 Mosaic Records also began to reissue the entire catalog of Commodore recordings.
In the last decades of his life Gabler remained active in a number of professional organizations, most notably the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which bestowed upon him a Grammy lifetime achievement award in 1991. Gabler died in New York on July 20, 2001.

Personal Correspondence
Series 1
Archival Resource Key
1945-1993
Scope and Contents
This series contains Gabler's correspondence with family and friends. Most notably Gabler maintained a longstanding personal and professional friendship with brother-in-law Jack Crystal, who worked at the Commodore Music Shop. In later years Gabler also corresponded with nephew Billy Crystal. Notable personal friends include Sammy Davis Jr. and Lucille Armstrong (wife of the late Louis Armstrong). The materials also encompasses Gabler's creative work as a lyricist working in collaboration with various composers. In addition to correspondence and lyrics, Gabler also wrote several articles, original biographical sketches, and sales letters. Gabler also collected articles and photocopies of monograph excerpts that mentioned his work at Commodore. Finally, Gabler granted numerous interviews, several of which are included as transcripts within the collection. The transcripts provide personal reflections on his life and work. Much of the correspondence relates to professional matters for either Decca or Commodore Records. Many of Gabler's letters refer to his career. The correspondence is arranged alphabetically by name of correspondent. The letters between the two parties are then interfiled chronologically.

Commodore and Decca Business Correspondence and Gabler Rolodex
Series 5
Archival Resource Key
1936-1973
Scope and Contents
Commodore/Decca (1931-1974) reflects Gabler's simultaneous work as owner/recording producer with Commodore and staff-producer and later vice-president in charge of artists and repertoire for Decca Records. Because the material (business correspondence, financial, and legal records) overlaps and is interwoven, it was arranged together within its own subgroup. The material here pertains mainly to joint Commodore/Decca recording projects. Correspondents were mainly business associates in the recording industry and include Jack Crystal, Stanley Dance, Leonard Feather, and Ralph Gleason--most of these correspondents may also be found in topical files on various recording projects include Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Burl Ives, Al Jolson, the Mills Brothers, and Ella Fitzgerald. The bulk of Commodore material not integrally used at Decca is arranged in Series 11.
this series consists of letters to and from Gabler and various recording companies, recording artists, and music publishing corporations. Also included are fan mail and Gabler's intact rolodex of contact information for business associates/recording artists.

Commodore, Correspondence
Series 11
Archival Resource Key
1969-1998
Scope and Contents
This material pertains to Gabler's various recording and reissue projects before and after the Commodore/Decca years. A few of the artists include Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Pearl Bailey, Eddie Condon, "Wild Bill" Davison, Ella Fitzgerald, Peck Kelley, and Dick Shannon. The bulk dates of 1973-2001 refer to the period following Gabler's departure from Decca and subsequent return to the Commodore label. The bulk dates do not accurately reflect the original dates of various files and items. Most of the material reissued in this period actually originated between 1938 and 1957. Subgroup C includes materials on the various record companies that distributed Commodore material after Gabler's departure from Decca. Most notably, this series contains files on the historic series of reissues by Mosaic Records in 1987—a boxed set of audio discs containing every Commodore recording.
The series consists of business correspondence with various recording companies and music publishers regarding various recording projects, business correspondence with specific individuals/associates with whom Gabler maintained an extensive business relationship, fan mail (mainly regarding reissues), and Commodore questionnaires regarding suggestions for future reissues. Folders are arranged alphabetically by name of corporation or business contact. Fan mail and questionnaires are arranged chronologically.

Correspondence with Organizations
Series 23
Archival Resource Key
1955-1995
Scope and Contents
This series reflects Gabler's personal and professional affiliations with various organizations—mainly jazz appreciation clubs and trade organizations for musicians and producers. The subgroup is comprised of topical files on the various organizations, but includes mainly correspondence. Because the projects and concerns reflected here were not necessarily integral to Gabler's work with either Decca or Commodore, this material was arranged separately. Materials includes miscellaneous enclosures (mainly monographs and pamphlets). Files are arranged alphabetically by name of organization.
