The Stanford Jazz Orchestra Collection consists of studio master recordings for two compact disc projects recorded at The Music Annex in Menlo Park, California. The studio changed owners in 2003, and the new owners offered the masters to Stanford. These materials include half-inch reel masters, videocassettes (with ADAT audio), DATs, and notes on studio sessions (take sheets, mix notes, microphone lists, personnel). The resulting compact disc from the first session was also included in the donation.

7 half-inch open reel tapes ; 14 videocassettes (ADAT) ; 4 DATs ; 1 compact disc (1 box)
