Rebuilding from the ground up
Much of 2020 was spent pivoting the All About Jazz platform and making the necessary adjustments to adapt to the fallout of COVID-19. Like everyone else, All About Jazz was impacted and continues to feel the economic pinch of the pandemic. It is a precarious time, but we recognized what we were up against back in January and got to work. We spent the year making sweeping changes to the technologies that power All About Jazz & Jazz ...

All About Jazz collaborated with Joe Vella at Jazz Online to produce Jazz Backstage, a series of brief audio stories. Short lived, these six episodes ran from August to October 2011. Jack DeJohnette Musicians and drummers, in particular, across all genres have been blown away by the work of Jack DeJohnette. Whether Jack is leading his own groups or playing behind a cast of world class artists, his drumming is always fresh, inspired and most of all, ...
read moreBlast 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 ...

Crazy as it sounds, All About Jazz turned 25 today. What started as a fun hobby on August 15, 1995 is becoming a life's work and the good news is AAJ is far from a finished product. This year, in particular, has been crazy active and will culminate in the launching of a virtual jazz club and a streamed event in late October. It's funny, back in 1997, good friend and occasional contributor Lawrence Peryer suggested I register ...

read more502, and the move to end all moves...
As my high school wrestling coach used to say, “no pain, no gain." Well, that adage certainly applies to our server migration project. With new servers, a new architecture and a new framework (coming soon), we fully expected to hit a few snags along the way. The good news is we're identifying issues and resolving them faster than before, which means the bulk of the post-migration issues are mostly behind us. Hallelujah! If you received a 502 error ...
