The channel "Over Jazz" looks to be a fairly recent one, nothing much uploaded more than 3 months ago, some within the last day. Tracks seem mostly 1930s through 1960 ish just about every jazz name from those days is featured, so far 4,800 tracks. No real video as such, either stills or moving graphics of a stylus and a revolving disc. However the music is good so far from what I've listened to
I barely scraped the surface, on the home site so far 190 pages at 30 tracks per page, I started looking at every page but after about 20 pages started skipping to every 5th page. I noticed a few artists I would not class as jazz e.g. Presley, Doris Day others maybe borderline, e.g. Ray Charles, Hoagy Carmichael, Kay Starr, and there were quite a few pages of latin groups.
I think it deserves a thorough investigation! Browsing through page by page artists are sometimes mixed, example pages 185 through 190 start off with Sarah Vaughn with a few Oscar Peterson, then a page mostly Oscar, with a few Billie Holliday, then 3 pages mainly Billie Holliday with a few Oscar Peterson.
There is a search facility which makes it easier if you want one specific artist/band or tune, looks to be a work in progress still, did a search for Duke Ellington and got nothing relevant so far
Do we want to make a joint effort to sort through?
