AAJ NAMED BEST JAZZ SITE
All About Jazz was designated "Best Web Site" at the Sixth Annual Jazz Awards held last week at the Jazz Standard in New York. AAJ would like to
thank the Jazz Journalists Association for the award, our readers for
constantly spreading the word, and most importantly, our volunteer
contributors and other supporters for their tireless dedication and supreme
coolness. The award (a handsome 6 1/2 inch glass obelisk) will rest
comfortably in the founder's office, right next to his beatnik bobblehead.
