Jazz blogs

[sgraham]

Has anyone found any notable jazz blogs?

[Philip]

I think sgraham might be Steven Graham, the editor of the UKs JazzWise magazine, responsible for a Blog I've come across here (http://www.jazzwise.blogspot.com/) . :)

[sgraham]

Correct. I set up the Jazzwise blog (www.jazzwise.blogspot.com) a couple of weeks ago and since then it's been a good way to break news items and voice general opinions and cover current topics. If anyone wants to take part e-mail me on stephen@jazzwise.com and I'll send an invite by e-mail.

[cmosley1]

i don't know about 'notable,' but i've recently started a jazz blog with a friend. it's at jazzthinks.blogspot.com

[clave]

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

I've got a music blog, Hemispherical (http://hemispherical.blogspot.com), which has some jazz coverage now and will have more. (Not that it falls under the "noteable" heading!)

[xricci]

Errr... have you clicked the link in the top right corner of this page?

Some Latin American jazz mags have blogs -- in those cases, they really are jazz blogs -- with breaking news, gig info. (including last-minute changes, etc.). Makes me wonder why none of the N. American mags have decided to add this feature to their web sites...

[xricci]

I have, and I've enjoyed Bret's posts very much -- though I'm not sure I'd call it a "jazz blog" per se.

Give it some time to develop. He's only made a handful of posts.

[jazziz1]

Hmmm...notable? Questionable. But I have one going at http://www.jazzwriter.blogspot.com

[jazzundone]

I've just started one up at http://jazzundone.blogspot.com. Not much there yet, but I'll be working on it.

[Greg Hester]

At Greghesterjazz.com we're trying to spotlight the local jazz scene with articles about musicians, venues and general goings-on, but news of national interest is also welcome.We also review jazz albums (some of the more obscure artists who may not be familiar to most folks) and again, we welcome comment or additional content or ideas. We have some music sampling and lots of photos.

Check us out: www.greghesterjazz.com

i pulled the plug on bret primack's blog and converted it into a column. see...

http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article_center.php?in_type=119

i wasn't happy with the word press software (it's free for a reason) and it made more sense to use the aaj publishing system to post his articles.

[jazzofonik]

Very grateful for this thread. ALready familiar with hemipsheric (I think notable is an apt description) and I'm in the process of checking outthe others.

I humbly offer my own fledgling effort - jazzofonik.blogspot.com for consideration. Jazz Times editor Chris Porter also runs a cool site (The suburbs are kiling us ) at christopherporter.com that covers music from diverse sources in addition to other views

that said, most of the entries here are on blogger. Any other blog hosts with good jazz sites?

[unklstuart]

Allow me to shamelessly promote my own jazz blog centered in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Nice site, one of my friends made it to that Dave Holland show at Yoshis, I heard it was great. I've started my own jazz blog as well

[rickg3000]

I've got a jazz blog site here: http://www.iwasdoingallright.com/

My site focuses mostly on jazz trumpet playing and helping beginners to learn about jazz improvisation and ear training.

[John@TomorrowJazz]

I've been jazzblogging with GreyMatter since September 2002. I've incorporated it into my site TomorrowJazz.com (http://www.tomorrowjazz.com). I try to focus on modern jazz (remixed jazz, fusion, jazztronica, nu jazz, etc.). Please give it a look. I may not be able to update it for a couple of days as I read through these other blogs, especially JazzWriter, jazz unDone, and JazzPortraits!

[Capt.Spaulding]

I used to put a lot of jazz stuff on my blog, but I've sort of stopped. An old e-mail buddy of mine had a great blog focused on trad. jazz (mostly) at www.xanga.com/benni , but she hasn't written anything since December of 2003!

[CamTheCat]

I recently found this forum and it's great!

I've been enjoying working on my own jazz blog. it's called "Jazz Authority". I play sax, but the articles are not ony sax related but include all general music topics. Here's the intro I used at the site... let me know if you find my blog usefull!

Jazz Authority is a site created for the purpose of learning about basic and advanced music theory, as well as discussing music in general. You can ask questions, reply to posts, and freely express your thoughts about music related subjects. Jazz improvisation, saxophone technique, music theory, and my random rants regarding the music industry are topics that will be covered. If you want to see a post on a specific subject, let me know. I promise that I have information and insight that you can use to your benefit. R-e-l-a-X, and talk about being a musician. Exchange ideas about music theory, improv techniques, and thoughts about making GOOD MUSIC. eNjOy!!!

[cahl]

This is a helpful thread that's introduced me to several nice sites.

My jazz, blues and rock blog is http://cahlsjukejoint.blogspot.com

[Jeff Albert]

I just started a new blog, that is really an art blog, but will have high jazz content likely. It is http://www.scratchmybrain.com .

[Jakeweiser]

I also have a blog that I've recently started here (http://www.jakehanlononline.com/NewJHO/blog.php)

[Dingo Jazz]

More shameless self promotion here!

My blog has streaming-Jazz videos, advanced Jazz harmony lessons, player features, links to transcriptions and lessons, plus much more. There's a ton of useful material for the player on there.

[unklstuart]

For the forseeable future, I am dedicating my blog to all the news I can find regarding the uncertain future of the musicians and the music industry of New Orleans.

Thank you,
Stuart Nafey

Okay, this blog is in danish, but it's absolutely jazzy. I've been writing there since april 2004. So take a look, and maybe you suddenly would like to take a course in danish.

[Gèzz]

Jazzenzo is a fresh dutch jazz e-zine. With regular news, concertreviews, interviews, tips, video- en audiofiles. This makes the site also interesting for people that don't understand Dutch.

www.jazzenzo.nl

We hope to do the interviews in english/dutch soon. At the moment there is just one in e/d, with Jordi Pujol: the man behind the Fresh Sound New Talent-label.

grtz,
Gèzz

[minty95]

A bit of shameless self-promotion...

I've recently started a jazz blog at http://dailyjazz.blogspot.com . It's focussing on reviews of stuff I like to listen to, as well as live gigs i've been at. Check it out! ;)

[xricci]

i plugged the new blog directory (http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/entity_archive.php?t=20) in the latest newsletter...

excellent. I posted two blogs today, one is about influences and one is about ego.

check out my blog or I shall be very upset!

[wendell mew]

great blog; i believe in sharing knowledge too. i'd like to send you an original composition ( SOPRANO AND GUITAR) i did with adam levine, former head of the dick grove guitar program in l.a., recorded five years ago. levine's now in san luis obispo. he taught adam levy who's norah jones guitarist.

[ebrew]

I've got one following my progress & experiences learning to play jazz trumpet a the tender age of 32. Goes back to October 2002...

[wendell mew]

i have a student who's starting sax at 39, and i think he can be better than me; he's a natural musician. comes from a family of musicians, but he went to tufts univ and graduated and worked all over the world, but now he wants to play sax.

never too late. bird's productive life was only 17 years, and most of us have 17 years left; so let's do it.

[erling]

here's a jazzblog of little consequence but a few excellent photos of musicians you prolly never heard about but great jazzers all. The text is in Danish - but a warped Danish, the cat that runs the blog is mad (in the good sense). Is mainly centered around some major Danish jazz stars that are nuts about racing bike, like American expatriate Bob Rockwell, myself and a few more.
