Jazziz Anyone?

I received a note from a reader who is looking to sell a collection of Jazziz magazines. Overall, she has 136 issues from 1995 to 2009 and some are in the original plastic sleeves. Many of these came with CDs, if I recall. She says she has some complete years as well. If anyone is interested, please send a note to me at al@jazzcollection.com. Speaking of jazz magazines,

the magazine Jazz Times has been revived from the dead. A month ago the owners had talked about folding it, and now it has been sold to new owners, who specialize in magazines for enthusiasts and collectors. I’ve been in the magazine business for years. The reality is that most of the enthusiasm among enthusiasts has shifted to online. It’ll be interesting to see if they try to turn Jazz Times into something for collectors. If so, they better learn quickly that print is not the long-term model.
