Recent Improvements
All About Jazz is an active website where improvements occur daily. Here are our user-facing updates from the last month:- All private messages over four years old were deleted from the database. Our initial clean-up effort resulted in the removal of 400,000 messages.
- Speaking of, members can now access Sent Messages from their Private Messages page.
- We added a "by city" option to our article and news searches.
- We improved our blog section in anticipation of expansion. We also introduced a new blog entitled Jazz BBQ by Scott Shrewsberry.
- We added published article totals by year to our Staff Directory page and our filter staff by style preference page.
- We removed all links to Twitter (from our member, musician, venue, festival, etc. pages and forms).
- We created a tips page for those looking to advertise.
Created Not Curated
We'd like to thank 32 Bar Blues for their excellent taste in apparel and... media quotes.
