Down Beat Magazine complete set from 1956-1972 Institutional Bound

Down Beat Magazine"jazz, blues and beyond", the last word indicating its expansion beyond the jazz realm that it covered exclusively in previous years. The publication was established in 1934 in Chicago, Illinois."
In January 1946, DownBeat went from semi-monthly to bi-weekly every other Monday, and was Bi-Weekly from 1946-1979

The magazine is considered the magazine and "Bible" for jazz and this collection covers one of the most important part of Jazz history, the late Bop period up to the early period of Jazz Fusion. 
Incredible reviews, ads and details and interviews with many of the leading figures of Jazz.
