JAZZMAN | DOWNBEAT | SOURCES OF INFORMATION | MY COLLECTION | RECENT ACQUISITIONS
Have a close look. You will not know a lot of these musicians and records listed here, being primarily exposed to the American jazz scene. These records reflect very much of what is going on in the European jazz scene, as seen by the respectable mainstream magazine "Jazzman", a monthly publication, to which I have subscribed, although my knowledge of the French language is only rudimentary.
