A focused newsletter on jazz releases and gigs, for listeners who follow the players
Weekly
Once a week: the albums released with their personnel, the trade press's verdict on them, tour dates and club residencies for players worth catching, and festival lineups as they are announced. Written for a listener who follows the players, not a beginner's guide to the genre.
Not general jazz history pieces with no news hook, not instrument gear reviews unrelated to a release or a gig, not biographical retrospectives with no news behind them, not genre-purity arguments about what counts as jazz.
Where the news comes from: JazzTimes, Jazz FM, Bandcamp Daily, jazz, All About Jazz, NPR, jazz.
Nobody gets this one yet. It starts when you do.
