DIG v2.0 and Best of 2024: DIG v2.0 and Best of 2024
Our annual roundups kicked off last week with Chris May's posthumous picks. The way things are shaping up, we may publish a new Best Of 2024 article every day from now through the New Year, so stay tuned! Related, our first midway point article entitled Best Jazz Albums of 2024: All-Star Break Edition was published on July 15th and is still going strong topping 31,500 reads. Unrelated, we surpassed 90,000 newsletter subscribers, so thank you all!

DIG 9000 Improves

We made enhancements to everyone's favorite jazz AI, DIG 9000. It's faster and the responses are more precise. We asked both v1 and v2 if Keith Jarrett ever played at the Deer Head Inn. Their responses:

v1.0

Yes, Keith Jarrett played at the Deer Head Inn in Pennsylvania when he was 16 years old. He also recorded an album there in 1992, or 1994, called "At The Deer Head Inn."

v2.0

Absolutely! Keith Jarrett did perform at the Deer Head Inn. This venue holds a special place in his heart as it was the scene of one of his first paid engagements. He was eager to return and perform there again when it was re-christened by Bob Lehr's daughter. The intimate atmosphere and history of the Deer Head Inn make it a significant spot for jazz performances. For more details, you can check out the article here.

If you haven't used our chatbot recently, try v2.
