A monthly page to welcome you to All About Jazz -- it's the quickest way to discover the latest and greatest features on our ever-expanding site.

SOUTH AFRICAN JAZZ

Visit our new South African Jazz site and discover the history, the players and the politics behind the music. Look for interviews, artist profiles, essays, a time line spanning the years 1488-1999, a glossary, and plenty of links! An impressive effort by Nils Jacobson and company.

7,500 CD REVIEWS: SEARCHABLE & SORTABLE

We have totally revamped the CD reviews section of the site. Over 7,500 reviews from the archives have been successfully imported into the database. You can now search for reviews and view them on a new DAILY REVIEW page. You can also view them on our MONTHLY PAGE and sort the columns by artist, title, label and more. The CD review pages have also been redesigned and include CD cover art. And for those who like to print reviews, we now offer a print-friendly version of each.
