Our surprise packet

Django Reinhardt, Teddy Wilson, Louisiana Sugar Babies, Nat 'King' Cole, Vic Berton
Fred Robinson, Eddie Heywood, Jimmy Blythe, Honore Dutray, Bessie Smith

Next to the jazz discs several thousand other jazz objects have been accumulated over the decades.

 

For example:
Photographs, leaflets, magazines, announcements, several year's issues of « Storyville », and « Mississippi Rag », letters, all sorts of press releases and many other things.

 

We call this part of the collection our «surprise packet». It's a "rummage paradise" for Jazz fans with a discovery instinct. But before we can open this section to the public, a considerable work of ordering and archiving will be required.

Jim Lannigan, Jack Aaronson, Don Redman, The Wolverines, George 'Pops' Foster
Kid 'Shots' Madison, Don Byas, Bill Rank, Milton Hinton, Ollie Powers
