Back towards the first of the year, I started a website which housed a directory of local jazz musicians, venues, reviews, an events calendar, and anything else that had anything to do with jazz in and around Dothan, AL. It was complete with blogs on local artists and their projects and post from a Troy based jazz trombonist, Matrin Sager. This time around, I plan to expand the list of active bloggers and have local and national guest writers.
Several months later, after struggling to find event listings and musicians miscontruing my intent with the website, I took it down. The only problem with that is I love jazz. I want people to know when and where jazz is happening so they can get out and support it. I want it to thrive in this area and I want people to be exposed to it.
Please let me know if there is a jazz show out there that you don't see on my calendar. Also, if you are a venue or event planner and have live jazz from time to time or a musician who would like to be listed or featured, please email me at dothanjazz@gmail.com.
