The size of my collection (started in the 1960s) isnt growing much anymore. 2/3ds vinyl and 1/3d CD's I think I have the music I wanted with that total of around 5 thousend items. The new stuff with new names arent soo much appealing and the direction of jazz lacks in many cases melodies and lines you could follow as listener. Have started as big band fan (today about 1/3rd of the collection) bud widened the scope to all group sizes.
Get the Informations I need from Down Beat starting in the late 1950s and read it (now online) still. So I'm most returning to the stuff I have and buy here and then a reissue from Japan.
Have not the luck to live in a greater city so offerings for good prices are small. That keeps the cash in the wallet ! :-]
Thats my status today
