Living Jazz Archives

It’s like looking at the Dead Sea Scrolls when you look at the paper with Thad Jones hand.

Bone2pick heads to the venerable William Patterson University and their extraordinary Living Jazz Archives for a look at some of the most prized artifacts in the history of jazz. Curator/Professor David Dempsey and Professor Pete McGuinness take us on an insiders look at all things Clark Terry - date books, horns, mutes, original lead sheets, a treasure trove of original Thad Jones scores and recordings and everything from practice notebooks, original board cassette tapes, hand written manuscript, even a high school yearbook from the one and only Michael Brecker. It’s like being a kid in a candy store all over again. Enjoy!
