The recordings on the lists below are available for trade only (i.e., NOT for
sale). However, I don't trade for blanks, I don't use re-writable media
(CD-RW), and I don't work with lossy source files (MP3, AAC, etc.). I normally
use Sony or Mitsui blank CDRs, disable SCMS when possible, and either record in
real time or use disc-at-once at no more than 4x, and send the unlabeled discs
in blank envelopes. Please do the same.
Dates and locations are as accurate as I have been able to make them, but I'm
sure that inaccuracies remain. Some venues, locations, and dates are unknown or
approximate. I will be grateful for any information that I can use to correct
errors or replace uncertainty.
In most cases I don't know the history of these recordings -- who made them
and with what gear, what generation they are, etc. -- but the quality is as
indicated in the list below.
A = Excellent: full sound, good highs, no clipping, etc.
B = Good: some loss of highs, dull transients, clipping.
C = Poor: getting hard to listen to.
Sources of the music:
RB = Radio Broadcast (with details where known)
TV = Television Broadcast (with details where known)
aud = Audience or Band Recording
SB = Studio or Soundboard Recording
Many of these recordings came to me as analog cassette tapes. In these cases the
analog-to-digital transfer was done using Nakamichi ZX-7, ZX-9, or CR-7A cassette decks
and a HHB CDR-800 recorder. In some cases I have corrected the pitch or done
other cleanup as needed.
If you want to search the collection for groups, locations, tunes, or
musicians, there is a Query Form designed
for that purpose.
I also have lots of jazz CDs for sale: Miles Davis and
Charlie Parker as well as other artists. You
can order online!
