Getting there!
We track the number of events added to our database each year, and as you can see from the data below, we're steadily working our way back to pre-Covid levels. With continued growth, we expect to reach 2019 numbers later this year. Jazz Near You remains the most comprehensive and advanced platform for jazz events, and we are continuously enhancing it. Listing events, venues, festivals, and more will remain free, and the platform becomes most valuable when it's actively used. This relies on greater participation from event listers, and there are multiple ways to add events to the website. We encourage you to explore the different listing options.
If batch uploads or event feeds are your preferred methods, we're happy to assist you with that process. While we've only begun to unlock the full potential of Jazz Near You, maximizing its impact is a collaborative effort, and will result in a win for all.
| Year | Total Events Added | Avg. Events Uploaded / Day |
| 2024 | 56,436 | 155 |
| 2023 | 39,898 | 110 |
| 2022 | 33,441 | 92 |
| 2021 | 28,102 | 77 |
| 2020 | 30,354 | 83 |
| 2019 | 72,371 | 199 |
