Vision
JazzArcheology.com is created in order to work in the following areas:
The Jazz Artists
- To honour the vintage jazz artists and ascertain that their great music never shall be forgotten
- To document properly the important artistic works they have given us and take good care of them
The Jazz Environment
- To create a professional meeting place for discussion and appreciation for vintage jazz
- To highlight and encourage listening to important jazz artists not necessarily well known
- To inform younger jazz generations of the music shaping their parents and grandparents
The Jazz Consumers
- To challenge the jazz collector to listen to his records and favourites in a new, critical perspective
- To make the jazz enthusiast interested in searching for artists and records outside his experience
- To stimulate exchange of jazz material of common interest
The Jazz Archeology
- To identify the current body of knowledge with regard to vintage jazz material, supplementing the field of discography
- To search for hitherto unknown material, test pressings, broadcasts etc., in your own collection (or basement!), or in the vaults of record companies
- To salvage such “excavated” historical jazz material from oblivion and ensure its existence for all future
