Chris M. Slawecki has been published in music industry and related publications for nearly 25 years and has served AllAboutJazz.com as Senior Editor since 1997.
I've been published for nearly twenty-five years, beginning with just about every local newspaper in southeastern Pennsylvania. My first Internet position was as Editor for Music Wire, the e-zine published daily by Music Boulevard for its retail site. Each day of Music Wire was devoted to a different genre of music: Monday was Country, Tuesday was Jazz and Blues, Wednesday was Pop/Rock, etc. Since then, I was Music Editor for retailer Spree.com; contributed interviews and reviews to AllMusicGuide.com; contributed interviews and reviews to CDNow.com; and interviews, biographies, and song compilations as Jazz/Blues Editor to CustomDisc.com. Several of my biographies also appear in Music in the 20th Century published by Sharpe Reference in 1999. I have served as Senior Editor for AllAboutJazz.com since March 1997. I also serve as editorial consultant and on the foundation committee for the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame.
