the niven collection
links to recordings from “the david w. niven collection of early jazz legends, 1921-1991” on the internet archive. see here for my comments on the niven collection. while the original recordings are not tracked (1 .wav per tape side), i’vesplit several tapes into tracks (in .flac format) and plan to track more tapes. the listings here are either tapes i like or that i’ve tracked.
