Jazz&Jazz Features can have a far greater impact than
fleeting Social Media posts!
As Jazz&Jazz continues to grow I am reluctant to spend ever more hours reviewing and promoting events that Social Media already enables clubs, bands and musicians to promote for themselves. For instance, many already use my Facebook Jazzers Group for this purpose. In the UK there is also the monthly Just Jazz Magazine, The Jazz Guide and the Jazz Guide Website, not to mention other websites that carry comprehensive
lists of events.

April 28, 2018 By 15 Comments
The May issue of Just Jazz Magazine arrived this morning.
