> Have you ever heard of the New York Jazz Museum? Most people have not.  
> Yet between 1972 and 1977 it was the most significant institution for  
> jazz in the world. This book looks back to present the story of a  
> "Lost Museum."
> It was situated in its own two-story building in mid-town Manhattan  
> and had a small staff, an archive that eventually numbered about  
> 25,000 items and extensive programs in New York City and beyond. Some  
> of the programs won awards and most of them were received with  
> widespread acclaim in the media and from jazz fans.
> There were the Calvert Extra Sunday Concerts - 40 per year, the Jazz  
> Puppet Show, the Jazz Film Festivals, the Jazz Panorama - an audio  
> visual history of jazz, The Jazz Store, Information Center, the  
> exhibits - Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Bird & Diz:  
> The Bebop Era, The Sax Section, Count Basie and His Bands, Billie  
> Holiday Remembered, About John Coltrane and the Jazz Trumpet. Posters  
> and booklets were produced in conjunction with the exhibits and there  
> was so much more.
> An extended power struggle ensued that eventually caused the Museum's  
> demise. Entangled in the fatal conflagration was the "Jazz  
> Fraternity," which included the most prominent names in jazz -  
> musicians, producers, writers, artists, et al.
> This book tells the whole story for the first time. It was written by  
> Howard E. Fischer, founder of the Museum and its Executive Director.
