Next to reading and, I suppose gardening, “collecting” must be close to the top of leisure activities. Who collects what, why and how defies categorisation but some characteristics seem to be common. A certain obsession, tenacity, unpredictability, enthusiasm, stubborn persistence – and, usefully if randomly, items of great interest to the non collecting free rider. In short, significant amounts of value are at times added for low cost.

Such is the case with the LondonJazzCollector

This is a wonderful treasure drove of quasi fanatical detail covering “Adventures in collecting “modern jazz: the classical music of America from the Fifties and Sixties, on original vinyl, on a budget, from England.”

A pleasure to read, moments of enjoyment for the casual passer by and a serious jazz resource. Not to be missed.
