What a beautiful odyssey this collection took—one can only hope our own ephemera will be treated with the same care and reverence someday. What really struck a chord was the deep sense of stewardship that runs through the journey, the kind that so many of us carry as we collect and curate this music over a lifetime, if only to keep it from the landfill. In a world built around the “take, make, dispose” model, it’s easy to discard what no longer feels useful. But honoring the spirit behind the music—keeping it in the value stream, in use, in ears—is more important than ever. Whether it’s through your radio show, the swap shop, or simply sharing this story with the Jazz Collector community, that commitment to keeping the music alive is the highest form of respect. We’re all just stewards for a time—caretakers of the sound, the history, the culture—and you truly lived that here, Al. Thanks to you, John’s collection still sings.
