That stuff was posted to the web by Bob Auld, a trumpet player turned engineer. I went to college with Bob over 20 years ago. At that time he did live sound for the jazz concerts at Manhattan School of Music where we were students.

Bob's info is interesting to be sure, but it's nothing I didn't already know. I would be more useful to find photos from some big band dates of the era, particularly Count Basie, Duke Ellington and the like.

CTI jazz has photos from Van Gelder's in the 60s, including a Johnny Hodges big band date.
