Jazz is big... very big
We were dejunking the All About Jazz office last weekend and stumbled across this June 7, 1998 New York Times article entitled "(Even) Jazz Makes The Leap to Cyberspace" by the late Terry Teachout. His "Jazz is bigvery big..." cracked me up. We can only wish.
And of the 300+ jazz websites (and growing by the day) that were around back then, only one remains that covers jazz. Talk about staying power. AAJ actually launched three years prior to this article so this was old news to us. Anyway, it's a shame Terry didn't contact Joe Vella (Jazz Online) and myself for quotes as we were the early architects of the jazz web and could have provided certain insight that may have taken the article in a different direction.
