He'd had a troubled sleep, which usually meant he'd gone to bed upset. So he turned his thoughts to last night's gig—one of the musicians must have said something to him afterward. No, wait! None of them said anything to him, that was it! Nobody said, "Sounded great, man," or anything else nice like that, even though he'd made a point of saying it to each of them.

January 21, 2021 Featured Film Review Billie A victim of her own self-destructive excesses is a common trope when assessing Billie Holiday. Yet James Erskine's handsome documentary Billie makes a convincing case for Holiday—arguably the greatest of all jazz singers—as more a victim of poverty, racism, manipulation and brutal misogyny.

We rely primarily on venues, festivals and musicians to promote their events through our platform. With club closures, shelter in place and an uncertain future, we've pivoted our platform to collect, promote and broadcast livestream concerts to support our jazz musician friends. This is a significant but neccesary effort that will help musicians now, and in the future. You can help offset the cost of this essential undertaking by making a donation today. In return, we'll deliver an ad-free experience (which includes hiding the bottom right video ad). Thank you.
