UNLOCKED TAPES

------------------
Our ambition is to make as many as possible of our old rare unissued recordings known to jazz fans.
Many recordings are of inferior quality and there are no efforts made for mixing, mastering etc. Just straight from our mostly old tapes or cassettes.
We therefore do it without any expectations for receiving money or any other compensation. It’s an unpaid voluntary love-work we make and we alone pay for all material and cost for shipping the CD-Rs.
To receive copies of Unlocked Tapes sessions, you are requested to support the jazz life in any possible way like transfer a voluntary sum either directly to the actual artists or to any other jazz organization that unquestionably cares and support the jazz artists. The addresses to most artists/estates can be found on the Internet.
We recommend you take part of alternatives to find suitable organizations which appreciate your donation if you Google: “jazz donations”.
Some organizations which we recommend are:
1 - http://artsforart.org/donate.html
2 - www.jazzfoundation.org
also
3 - Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium at
info@cbjcjazz.org
Or any respected jazz organization, local or international, you like to support.
Your contribution can be anything from a few dollars to ……….
As soon as you let us know that you have taken the time and made a donation, any sum, and to whom, we will ship you the requested CD-R.
Mark your donation “Unlocked Tapes”.
Our reward is to find that our old forgotten concerts are still appreciated and that some money may find its way to the artists or to the support of the life of jazz musicians.
All orders are specially made and therefore allow delivery time.
Listen now – before it’s too late!
Sincerely
The Crew

Unlocked Tapes is No More...
Just received this...
Dear Dick,
Saw your thread at freejazz.com about our small project but as we have dropped it completely, we wonder if you could be so kind and delete it from freejazz, please.
It is not valid any longer. The tapes are now “locked”.
Kind regards
Crew
