About the Collection

Founded in Buffalo, New York in March of 1974 by Bill Wahl, the Buffalo Jazz Report was a free newspaper distributed at clubs and record stores in the Buffalo, NY area as a service to the local jazz community. It provided record reviews, articles on jazzmen from the area, interviews with visiting musicians, and new album listings. Later issues broadened its focus beyond Buffalo, NY to include Toronto, ON and Rochester, NY.

With the permission of Bill Wahl, the University at Buffalo Libraries host issue 1 (March, 1974) through issue 58 (December, 1978) in our digital collections.
