Blast from our past... AAJme: a short but sweet run: Blast from our past... AAJme: a short but sweet run

In the early years of All About Jazz we experimented with our content, presenting it in different formats. Our RSS feeds and our content widgets are still available today but our digital edition (PDF) which was the precursor to the (also) discontinued printed newspapers, was short-lived, only lasting five issues. Advertising support, which we counted on, never materialized. Still, it was fun while it lasted and it looked great.

As we described it...

All About Jazz is proud to introduce All About Jazz—The Monthly Edition, a downloadable companion and supplement to our website. Inside AAJme you'll find reviews of CDs and concerts, interviews with artists and other jazz movers and shakers, articles on all types of jazz, news about what's going on in the jazz world, and bonus content every month exclusive to the download. In other words, AAJme is everything you love about AAJ and more!
