The All American Music Festival is an annual event that gives music students the opportunity to perform and compete as an ensemble as well as a soloist. The event is held each weekend from March through May and is open to all types of bands, choirs, orchestras, and soloists.

Floyd Levin (1922-2007) was a Los Angeles textile manufacturer who turned his passion for jazz into a second career as an influential jazz journalist and historian. His numerous reviews, profiles, and articles were published in magazines such as Down Beat, Jazz Journal International, Metronome, and American Rag. He also authored Classic Jazz: A Personal View of the Music and the Musicians. Items in this collection (2011.3086) were acquired from Levin’s attendance at Jazz Festivals, conferences, and other music events.
