Turk Murphy Railroad Blues Musical Score

Recently several musical compositions that Turk Murphy made arrangements of entered public domain. What this means is we can now make these original Turk arrangements available for public viewing online.

The dates underlying compositions would enter public domain were identified by Frank Ferko and Jerry McBride and digitized by the Stanford Libraries Dgitial Production Group during the Charles N. Huggins project. The results of the project can be seen in the San Franicisco Traditional Jazz Foundation exhibit created with the spotlight application. There are multiple versions of some of the newly publicly available arrangements, so you will see some duplicate song titles listed below.
