Revision note: We will be sprucing up the layout of this index soon. We continue to add further entries.

Below are 400 plus index entries for the potted biographies of musicians, entertainers, and record executives that can be found in the various pages on the Red Saunders Research Foundation site. We've recognized that in these pages there’s a tremendous amount of buried information, and access to it involves a degree of serendipity. For example, in the Buster Bennett page, we have a biographical profile on jazz bassist and nightclub trio leader Duke Groner, but his placement there is not intuitively evident. This index provides the jazz and blues researcher with a tool for finding such information with far less effort.

In some cases, we lack basic biographical information on an individual, but because we may provide extensive career information, some of it found in no other source, we feel the entry is worthy of being indexed.

This is not an index of every act or musician who is named in the RSRF pages. That would require far too many entries and would not be helpful to the researcher. Rather, the index covers only those individuals and acts who are covered in sufficient length to be worthy of a trip. We do not deem a one or two sentence mention on an artist sufficient for inclusion in the index, but a small paragraph on the act constitutes a potted biography in our view and is indexed. Generally, if the act is a vocal group or band, and we provide the names of the members and details on one or more sessions, we will index it.
