Jack Goodwin, whose pedigree encompasses that of playing trombone with
an early edition of the original Vieux Carré Jazzmen to that of an authority on,
and discographer of, the great American saxophonist Warne Marsh, is looking for
anyone who would be willing to offer a good home to a collection of - mainly -
club or concert jazz cassette recordings contained in decent quality storage
containers.
Jack describes them as what he (and I) would call "modern
jazz" - many Bill Evans concert recordings (40 approx) Ted Brown, Lee
Konitz, Zoot Sims, Gerry Mulligan, many pianists, etc. etc. All in all
probably around 200 cassettes.
The charity shops don't want them and if he can't find a taker it will
have to be the Blaydon waste disposal which, he says, would be a pity as
there's a lot of great music on those tapes.

Not really my sort of thing, Lance, but I'll give them a home if nobody else will simply to preserve them, rather than go to waste(both literally and figuratively!).
Thanks Steve, however, I think Jack may have already found a willing custodian. I'll let you know if he hasn't.
