Alan Lomax, the original field recorder, goes global. The folklorist and ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax was a prodigious collector of traditional music from all over the world and a tireless missionary for that cause. Long before the Internet existed, he envisioned a “global jukebox” to disseminate and analyze the material he had gathered during decades of fieldwork. - Larry Rohter/NYT, Photo by Alan Lomax
