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...

I love jazz because it's helped me to escape to new worlds and new experiences. I was first exposed to jazz while I was very young. I was born in 1964 and I remember jazz being the background music for so many TV programs I used to watch. Sesame Street, The Pink Panther, Peanuts and many others. I've loved jazz for as long as I can remember. I met the bassist, Jennifer Leightham, recently at a performance at The Merc, in Temecula, California. It was a wonderful experience. The first jazz record I bought was Miles Davis' “Kind of Blue” (1959). My advice to new listeners is don't let anyone discourage you from exploring jazz and don't limit yourself to one type of jazz. Be bold! Experiment! Expand your musical horizon. You will never regret it.
