From VinylDiscovery - One man's search for vinyl treasure: "The collection was curated over a period of several years (1983-85) by the noted jazz critic and music scholar Dan Morgenstern. At the time, Morgenstern was the director of Rutgers University at Newark's Institute of Jazz Studies, one of the world's greatest collections of jazz recordings, memorabilia, and other cool jazz-related stuff.
"Morgenstern raided the Institute's collection for rare 78s and other obscure recordings that in some cases have been out of print for decades, Of course, he also includes selections from dozens of seminal albums by jazz greats from Louis Armstrong to Pat Metheny. In all, there are some 1,200 tracks on the 100 albums."
