Arnold, Roberta, 2000 October 29
- Scope and content:
-
Roberta Arnold (b. ca. 1941) frequented the Jazz Loft with saxophonist Ronnie Cuber in 1961-62 (they later married and then divorced). At the time, she was a dancer, and she later became an artist manager.
In this oral history, Arnold talks about her first visit to the Jazz Loft with Joe Lopes in 1961. She discusses the generally poor treatment of women musicians and singers within the jazz community, as well as the competitive, experimental atmosphere at the Jazz Loft. Arnold also mentions the physical state of the Jazz Loft building, W. Eugene Smith's studio, and other musicians she encountered at the Loft including Jimmy Stevenson, Chick Corea, and Ronnie Cuber.
