DownBeat on archive.org


Recommended Posts

There is another source:

https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Down-Beat.htm

This has the advantage of covering thru 1970 (only 1963 is virtually completely missing). It does get sparse at times in the seventies and eighties.  Also, a good number of the Yearbooks.

Indeed!  worldradiohistory has some other interesting periodials as well ... The search engine is a bit more reliable on archive.org though in my experience

I like this almost better than I like archive.  Thanks for the link!

Great stuff. I love reading old reviews and interviews and blindfold tests.

Yeah, me too. I really need to try and read all my uncle’s Downbeats someday — about 20-23 years worth, starting ~1965, iirc. Almost no gaps, though I have discovered one or two issues missing for a couple years here and there.

My print collection goes back to about 1971.  db and Jazz Times, plus some random five-or-so-issue flashes in the pan.  I will say, once again, some day...

Internet Archive also has The Record Changer. If you enjoy what IA is providing, chip in to help.

"Internet Archive", that's which site exactly? archive.org? I wasn't able to find it in the "Periodicals" section of that site. Did I miss something?

Thanks from me too.
This one seems to use the same files as archive.org. It will be interesting to see which site is better or speedier for pdf downloads.

Possibly more of interest to British members but the (UK) National Jazz Archive has a bunch of British journals digitised.

Thanks Paul (from Camden),   looks very useful. I am finding it difficult to navigate but that may reflect my IT capabilities.

Oh Man, a substantial article about Roscoe Mitchell by Terry Martin from April 1967, with quotes from Lester Bowie! Mitchell revieals he played with Coltrane when the latter was at the Plugged Nickel recently.

Lots of friends involved. Thanks for the reminder.
