Re: [ARSCLIST] "As far as I know, it is the largest collection of jazz and popular standards albums in New York City."

I have known Will Friedwald since the mid-90s. I have seen his albums 
and I don't feel that his claim is necessarily verifiable, but it would 
also be hard to dis-prove. Unless you are in the NYC area, the size and 
quality of your collection is not particularly relevant in this discussion.

That said, it is hard to take the NY1 piece too seriously when they 
can't make the distinction between Verve and verb (though I guess Mel 
did make himself eloquently known verbally, on or off the Verve label).
