They were discussed on page 28 of this thread (see posts starting on Oct. 30, the latest one on Nov. 3 by adh1907):

Initially I was quite interested but my enthusiasm has waned a little, seeing that these seem to be all articles taken from various long-published (and sometimes easily accessible) sources of which i already have several on my shelves. It is not quite clear how much new info (i.e. very recent info by the autor) is in there. So  I am still undecided about whether to pick them up. (Which is a rare occurrence for me when it comes to printed documents on 50s West Coast Jazz )
