SITES OF INTEREST TO JAZZ, BLUES AND DANCE BAND RECORD COLLECTORS
| BLUES WORLD. The Godfather of blues and blues-related sites. Enormous content, links, page-hosting, auctions and much more. Hours of fun! | |||||||||
| MARK BERRESFORD RARE RECORDS. The website of the English half of the VJM editorial team. Specialist sales and auctions of Jazz, Blues, Personality, Dance Band and other 78s, Books, Ephemera and some LPs. Stockist of the full Timeless CD vintage jazz catalogue. | |||||||||
| VINTAGE JAZZ AND DANCE MUSIC AT 78rpm. John Wright's well-designed and very comprehensive site is a must-see for 78rpm record collectors. Where to buy and sell records, how to grade them, clean them and pack them, lists of magazines, web sites, articles, music files, record societies - the lot. Be prepared to spend some time at this site! | |||||||||
| TIM GRACYK'S HOME PAGE. Not so much fun as John Wright's page, consisting mainly of well-written articles pertaining to the history of the record industry and recording artists (mainly studio singers and vaudeville artistes), but lots of useful links to other sites. Some ragtime and Jazz content, forget it for Blues. | |||||||||
| CITY OF LONDON PHONOGRAPH AND GRAMOPHONE SOCIETY. Again, rather studious, and very much slanted to machines, 'Serious' music and minutae of record company history - great if that's your line - otherwise break open the drinking chocolate! | |||||||||
| THE VITAPHONE PROJECT. Dedicated to the reuniting of Vitaphone films with their original sound discs and their restoration to video, their home page gives up to the minute information on news, finds, needs, etc. A very worthy project which needs any support you can give to save these precious and rapidly decomposing survivors of the earliest days of the talkies. Much to interest the hot dance music collector and some jazz. | |||||||||
| WWW.TINFOIL.COM - EARLY RECORDED SOUNDS AND WAX CYLINDERS. Weird but interesting to those interested in the very earliest days of recording. Music files, photographs, machines and much more. No jazz or blues content, but acoustic jazz and blues record collectors will feel dangerously progressive here. | |||||||||
| DIAMOND CUT PRODUCTIONS. Manufacturers of DC-Art Noise reduction software and producers of the excellent Diamond Cut Records, specialising in the reissue of jazz, blues and dance music from Edison Diamond Discs. | |||||||||
| WOLVERINE ANTIQUE MUSIC SOCIETY. Rather cluttered, lousy layout, but useful content, including sound files, articles, links, etc. | |||||||||
| MISSISSIPPI RAG. Publication devoted mainly to contemporary Traditional Jazz and Ragtime. Useful links pages to a host of US jazz societies and festival sites. | |||||||||
| THE 78 RECORD HOMEPAGE. Gary Herzenstiel's useful resource page is a mine of information, articles and links. | |||||||||

| THE BIG BANDS DATABASE PLUS. Fantastic resource site for anyone interested in Big Bands of the period 1917 to date. Articles, chat, archives, and much much more. Highly recommended! | |||||||||
| JAZZ REVIEW. Monster site with heavy leaning towards currently available CDs and MP3. Mainly contemporary scene-oriented, but with massive links page and lots to keep visitors on the site. | |||||||||
| RAGTIME PRESS. Large selection of MP3 and Midi files of ragtime piano solos (mainly piano rolls), plus useful information on the contemporary ragtime scene and good links page. | |||||||||
| JASS.COM. Invaluable resource site, containing biographies, pictures and sounds of pioneer jazz men and women of the 1895-1930 period. You could spend hours here! Recommended! | |||||||||
| GLOBAL MUSIC NETWORK. A well-designed site dedicated to Jazz, Opera and Classical music, but the jazz section is dominant. Loads of articles (with a mainly contemporary and Modern Jazz bias), CD reviews, CD sales section and more. Well worth a look. | |||||||||
| MONROVIA SOUND STUDIOS - RAGTIME-JAZZ-HOT PIANO. Very professional site devoted to piano ragtime and jazz and run by Mike Meddings, one of the foremost experts on Jelly Roll Morton. Strong emphasis on Morton and piano rolls of ragtime and jazz performers, with an extensive library of MIDI files and photos. Recommended! | |||||||||
| BIXOGRAPHY - BIX BEIDERBECKE RESOURCE PAGE. An extremely useful resource site for anyone interested in Bix. Full of info, music, articles, useful links and much more. Very well presented and easy to navigate. | |||||||||
