ARCHIVE SERIES ONE LAUNCH EVENT AUGUST 7 @ 10:00AM
in-person and livestreamed
FREE PUBLIC EVENT
Join us on August 7 at 10AM for a special event hosted by Vermont Jazz Center and led by archivist and educator Ben Young. This free event is held to celebrate the launch of the VJC Archive.
The Vermont Jazz Center Archive is a labor of love which has taken over 7 years from conception to realization. The VJC is grateful for the tireless input of dozens of volunteers, interns and professionals.
To best understand the structure of the archive, envision it as a catch-all for all the documented events that have occurred under the auspices of the VJC since Attila Zoller began recording himself at gigs through the present day. The VJC, under the leadership of Eugene Uman and Elsa Borrero since 1997, is now outfitted with professional audio and video gear to capture and preserve the historic music that takes place at our venue.
The online offerings (digital assets) are divided into 4 categories:
Concert highlights
Masterclass features
Blast from the Past
Zoller Collection
Our collection of 1500 jazz-related books and 7,000 jazz-related CDs are housed at the Vermont Jazz Center’s Cotton Mill Hill venue and are available for in-house enjoyment.
Releases of archived digital materials will be made available every 4 months (three times a year) on our website portal. Interested parties should contact VJC Director, Eugene Uman to gain access to additional material. A full list of artists’ names, side-people, and the dates of their performances (most of which have been documented through recordings) can be found here.
Digital Assets
The VJC Archive is home to a treasure trove of historically significant video and audio recordings, totaling hundreds of hours of studio-quality concert videos and masterclasses, recorded primarily at our venue. Thanks to funds received from a CLIR grant (Council of Library and Information Resources), the VJC Archive houses over 160 hours of digitized files that were transferred from the original recordings made by VJC founder, Attila Zoller using reel-to-reel and cassette tapes. The digital archive also houses files transferred from VHS and DAT tapes of dozens of concerts from VJC’s early years.
VJC in-house Jazz Library
Custom-built shelves house hundreds of jazz books and LPs, and thousands of CDs, most of which are now cataloged and searchable using standard Koha library software. These materials are available for in-house study.
The VJC archive team includes: archivist, John Levin; videographer, Michael Hanish; sound engineer, Julian McBrowne; academic supervisor, Julian Gerstin; collections specialist, Elie McAfee-Hahn; web designer, John DiGeorge; and communications manager, Sarah Ozga.
