papsrus Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 I ran across this list -- first posted in 2006 -- the other day at AAJ and contacted the person who had posted it. The owner of the collection lives north of London. He inherited it from his grandfather. The entire collection is still intact. The owner is not a jazz enthusiast and said he would prefer to sell the collection whole to someone who would value it as his grandfather did, although he has no firm idea what it might be worth. I have no affiliation with the owner of this collection, but it's a fascinating collection and I thought some folks here would be interested in looking at the list, and maybe offering some insight as to its possible value, or some ideas about how this person might best get these recordings into the hands of folks who would appreciate them. My first reaction is that due to it's size, it is unlikely he will find a jazz enthusiast with deep enough pockets to acquire the collection whole. I also am under the impression that he feels that selling the collection piecemeal would be too daunting a task, and would not achieve his main desire -- to get all of the recordings into the hands of someone who would value them. I sense there may be some wiggle room here, depending on interest. The collection's owner has a spreadsheet with some more detail about the individual recordings. The collection includes about 500+ LPs, about 200+ CDs and about 400+ tapes. I think many of the tapes are of radio broadcasts. The original AAJ post is here. There's an email address for the owner in his AAJ profile. I also have the fellow's email address and would be happy to provide it to anyone who wishes to contact him.

Bright Moments Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 no RRK - not much of a collection - Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) no RRK - not much of a collection - Yeah, and no Trane and no Electric Miles either. How could he - ever?? And claim this is a JAZZ collection?? In short, you kiddin', right? Seriously, this would be quite interesting for someone who is deeply into trad-style jazz or more trad-oriented swing or "Mainstream". Problem IMHO - it is a VERY personal collection based not only on tastes but apparently also on whims of what one came across at a given moment. I.e. a quick glance didn't reveal too many artists where this collector seems to have made a deliberate effort at rounding up something like a COMPREHENSEIVE array of discs on a particular artist - in the sense that many collectors who, even if they are not completists, discover one artist and then work themselves continuoiusly through that artist's records. A lot of the records that many of the artists here seem to be represented by seem to be fairly spotty, just as if some record caught the buyer's fancy so he bought it and that was that (maybe many purchases made at live gigs? Who knows?) Quite a few artists are probably represented by what one would consider "non-essential" recordings. They may be very nice in their own right but would they be first choice for somebody who'd want to get started with a particular artist? OTOH that "Best of" type of albums in that list would probably be fine for starters but once these "starters" explore the ground more thoroughly they would probably outgrow that kind of albums really fast. Still very nice all in all but the owner would need a buyer who REALLY is deeply into this and STILL has not a comprehensive collection himself. Otherwise it really would be a shot in the dark if there would be anybody out there who'd be able to fill MANY gaps with that collection. A rare beast, that kind of potential buyer ... And honestly, I think to most of today's collectors those cassettes and tapes unfortunately are largely deadweight. Unless one would have the equipment and be prepared to transfer them all to CD-R. It would be different if there were huge amounts of otherwise undocumented live recordings of "key" artists made privately by that collector back in the day. But are there?

BillF Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 I recognize it as very much the taste of a certain older English jazz fan. Probably closer to your tastes, Paps, than most on this board, but can you raise the funds? Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 Yeah, the number of cassettes jumped out at me, and that effects the collection in some serious ways - almost all the Bix is cassette (or is that reel tape?), for instance. And while this collection covers a lot of the trad jazz bases, it reflects some of the owner's idiosyncratic tastes in ways that make it less attractive, in my opinion. I mean, more Firehouse Five Plus 2 and Dukes of Dixieland than Ellington? Really? This would be a great collection to browse through and pick out the gems from. Quote
Brownian Motion Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 The owner of this collection is being entirely too sentimental about it. He should recognize that his father's tastes were fairly idiosyncratic, and that a perfect fit for this collection--or even just a buyer--is unlikely to be found, especially given the costs of packing and shipping. I have a fairly strong interest in more traditional jazz styles, but there is little here that I'd want to add to my collection. My advice would be to donate the whole thing to a local library sale, and be happy in the knowledge that a few trad-jazz buyers will be pleased with their good fortune. Quote
papsrus Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Posted November 15, 2010 I was under the impression the 'Tape' designation meant reel to reel and the 'Own' designation meant they were recorded either from broadcasts or from existing recordings. Quote
sidewinder Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) I recognize it as very much the taste of a certain older English jazz fan. Reminds me of the stuff that used to be gathering dust and cobwebs upstairs in the overhead racks at Mole Jazz. That's not to knock it though..I suspect that the owner had many, many hours of great listening pleasure. Edited November 15, 2010 by sidewinder Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 I recognize it as very much the taste of a certain older English jazz fan. Reminds me of the stuff that used to be gathering dust and cobwebs upstairs in the overhead racks at Mole Jazz. I dunno ... I picked quite a few interesting Basie, Kenton and other LPs there to fill some gaps in my collection in rather a targeted manner so every now and then I did my best to brush off the cobwebs . But I think I know what you mean. And no doubt this collection gave its owner lots of listening pleasure. But if you are of the kind where with many artists that have maybe 10 or 20 LPs or merit you are content with 2 or 3 or 4 (which may not even be among the most essential or sought after ones) because you just happened to like those for very personal and individual reasons then it is going to be hard trying to find somebody who, of all records, is just DYING to fill his own collection by adding these. As for "idiosyncratically" compiled collections, I suppose most of us collectors are of that kind. Referring to the above Firehouse Five vs Ellington comparison, I for one make no excuses for the fact that my Louis Jordan LPs outnumber my Coltrane discs by a factor of about 10 or so, and I do have more Goerge Wallington and Claude Williamson discs than I have discs by Monk, but OTOH if broken down in smaller stylistic lots the picture would be more even and I would not expect to see my discs disappear in ONE go anyway after I am no longer around.

jazzbo Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 The man liked hot jazz and had an awful lot of good selections. I'd have liked to have met him and talked to him about the early decades. Quote
bakeostrin Posted November 16, 2010 Report Posted November 16, 2010 Everyone's collection will to some extent be idiosyncratic, reflecting the tastes and resources of the individual collector. I would think as with most collections, this one would be difficult to transfer in tact. Most collectors have already amassed their own collections and would not be looking for a comprehensive collection. Such collectors might look at a large collection and a see a piece or two that interests them, but nothing more. It would be fairly unusual to find someone to buy the whole thing because he wanted to jump into collecting. Someone might buy the set for duplicates to trade, but in this instance, I would have no idea whether much of the collection has "collectible" value (such value being a subjective term certainly, but also something that is set by a market. The current owner could donate the collection, as has been suggested. Auctioning on e-bay is time consuming and may not be worth the effort. Alternatively, there are services that will auction the record collections. The late jazz photographer Ray Avery (who also owned a Hollywood jazz record shop at one time) used to run a mail order auction service. Warren Hicks in Connecticut does 4 auctions a year. Also, I believe Mark Berresford in the UK auctions records. The auctioneers will take a hefty cut, 50% in some cases, I think. But they will market the collection and ship the winnings off. The problem with some of the mail order record auctions is that you might not get as good a price as you would with an on line auction which more people would view. But it is an option. Quote
