Dear All About Jazz Readers,

If you're familiar with All About Jazz, you know that we've dedicated over two decades to supporting jazz as an art form, and more importantly, the creative musicians who make it. Our enduring commitment has made All About Jazz one of the most culturally important websites of its kind in the world reaching hundreds of thousands of readers every month. However, to expand our offerings and develop new means to foster jazz discovery we need your help.

You can become a sustaining member for a modest $20 and in return, we'll immediately hide those pesky Google ads PLUS deliver exclusive content and provide access to future articles for a full year! This combination will not only improve your AAJ experience, it will allow us to continue to rigorously build on the great work we first started in 1995. Read on to view our project ideas...

New York City Winter JazzFest 2016

In the dead of winter, a musical oasis erupts each January as festival jazz comes out of hibernation at the NYC Winter JazzFest. Although the program encompasses many, many venues featuring many, many performers, one location beckons the listener to sit tight without scurrying from site to site. It is the stage that presents ECM recording artists exclusively. For the January 2016 festival, ECM producer and founder Manfred Eicher was in attendance at the New School's Tishman Auditorium as a dozen performances unfolded over a two-day period. A packed house that made it difficult for those sampling multiple venues to find acceptable seating attests to the drawing power of the ECM stable of artists.

Story of the Day

I first fell in love with jazz when listening to Ella Fitzgerald’s scat solo on “How High The Moon”. I met Dianne Reeves, Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle and more... The best show I ever attended was...I can’t pick a best

I love jazz because...jazz encompasses all. Jazz is freedom. It is the ultimate expressive musical conversation. I was first exposed to jazz as an infant. I grew up in a family of musicians. I first fell in love with jazz when listening to Ella Fitzgerald’s scat solo on “How High The Moon”. I met Dianne Reeves, Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle and more... The best show I ever attended was...I can’t pick a best. But, I can say that seeing Dianne Reeves live changed my life. The first jazz record I bought was Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderley. My advice to new listeners; Listen to it ALL. Listen to instrumentalist, vocalists, big bands, vocal groups.... just LISTEN.
