Jazz is thriving—and so are the platforms that support it. We're seeing more local calendars and event listings emerge, and that's a good thing. Every effort to connect audiences with live music helps strengthen the scene.

At the same time, we want to take a moment to reaffirm what makes Jazz Near You distinctive—and why so many musicians, venues, and fans rely on it.

Jazz Near You isn't just a local calendar. It's a global platform featuring jazz event listings in over 300 cities worldwide. Whether you're a fan at home or a traveler exploring a new city, it makes discovering what's happening—tonight, tomorrow, or next week—simple and immediate.

We go further by delivering a weekly, geo-targeted newsletter that brings your local scene directly to you, along with a mobile app that keeps that information close at hand.

For artists and venues, Jazz Near You is—and always will be—free to use. Anyone can list events, build visibility, and reach an engaged global audience without barriers.

In many ways, the platform brings together the strengths of services like Bandsintown and Songkick, while remaining deeply focused on jazz and the communities that support it.

But like jazz itself, this only works when it's collaborative.

If you believe in what we're building, now is the time to act. Share Jazz Near You with the musicians, venues, and presenters in your community. Encourage them to list their events. Forward this to someone who cares about live jazz.

Because visibility matters. Participation matters. And the strength of this platform—like the music it supports—depends on the people who show up and contribute.

Help us build the most complete and connected jazz resource in the world, and thank you for being part of it.
