Born and raised there, Eldridge became a prominent musician while working in the city in his early years, including in his own bands. An active musician his whole life, Eldridge was also an avid documenter of his own work and that of his contemporaries, amassing a large collection of recordings on reel-to-reel tapes and acetate discs from his career. When Eldridge died, all of this material passed to his daughter. When she died, it was salvaged from the trash by an antique dealer from Far Rockaway, New York, Kurt Schneck. Mr. Schneck's home was devastated by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 along with the Eldridge Collection. Mr. Schneck approached radio station WKCR, proposing that it would become the temporary guardian of Eldridge's audio and visual documents, to try to save as much of it as possible. WKCR worked for a year to make transfers of nearly all of the tapes and acetates in the collection. All of the material was subsequently sold to the Sherman Jazz Museum in Texas.
