Scope and Contents

This is the archived website of Roy Nathanson, a Jewish saxophonist, composer, actor, writer, and bandleader who has been a central figure on the New York downtown scene since the late 1970s, as well as being involved in experimental theater. It also contains the archived website of the Jazz Passengers, a quintessentially downtown ensemble that performs a postmodernist blend of jazz and vaudeville, of which Nathanson is a part. Capture of the site began in May 2017. This description is based on the May 2017 capture of the site.

Appraisal

Robots.txt (a piece of code designed to limit crawler activity within a website) was ignored. Crawl was limited to domains and subdomains of http://roynathanson.net/ and https://jazzpassengers.com/ in order to remain within the collection scope and data constraints.

https://jazzpassengers.com/, an external site, was included due to its contextual value to the site that is the focus of this crawl.
