[78-L] Bob Thiele's "Jazz" magazine

[Randy Watts]

According to my notes, volume 1, issues 1 (June 1942) through 10 (December 1943). Then a second series of two issues, also volume 1: December 1944 and January 1945. This magazine came out on microfilm years ago, and a handful of libraries have them. That's how I ran across it.
