Welcome!

In our little corner of the world, jazz is like a struggling life form on a strange planet. The jazz that is here, most people don't know about. Why is this? Well, advertising is expensive so venues rely mostly on word of mouth which, I'm sad to say, usually comes too late for many to plan and, in many cases, the right people don't even hear about it to spread the word at all! That's where this blog comes in. I am going to list local jazz venues, musicians, and events and provide a place for area musicians to promote their art.

It will be a little bit before the blog hits it's stride but be patient and check back often. Better yet, subscribe to the feed or follow my Blogger account. Hopefully, this will blossom into it's own website and maybe, eventually, become part of a bigger entertainment news outlet. There is a learning curve but I will master it as quickly as possible.

If you have a jazz gig, band/artist, event, venue, or anything else, please email me at djazz@christopherhodges.com or find me on Twitter (@CHodgesmusic). I look forward to meeting local jazzers and hearing some great local music.

Good Things, 

Chris
