High-School-Lehrer David Niven hat 650 Jazz-Tonbänder gesammelt und mit Hintergrundinformationen zu den Songs versehen. Die interessante Sammlung ist auf Archive.org kostenlos zugänglich (via Researchbuzz: Firehose bzw. ThreeSources.com):
«This is an extraordinary collection. It has been Mr. Niven’s life’s work. It represents the very finest American music of the twentieth century, and because Mr. Niven took the time and care to record these commentaries, he has produced a library that is accessible to everyone from jazz aficionados to jazz novices. This is all made even more remarkable by the fact that, had Mr. Niven not had the foresight to contact Steve Massey in 2010, this entire collection may have disappeared. How many collections of jazz like this get junked after estate sales every year? Thank you, David – your devotion to jazz will enrich the musical education of hundreds of students!»
