1000+ hours of early jazz from the vast collection of David W. Niven is now available for free streaming/download on Archive.org.

David W. Niven jazz collection info

Archivist Kevin J. Powers, who digitized the cassettes, states that the collection “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.”
