A Call to Action...

Can you believe it’s been almost 4 years since the Jazz Half started showcasing jazz in Cincinnati through things like Artist Interviews, Reviews, and more? My, where does the time go?

While The Jazz Half attempts to make a valiant effort to keep you in the know with jazz news and events in the Tri-State, it’s reasonable to assume not every bit of news is covered, and some things are missed. For instance, you may have visited the website to look for a review covering a recent show, and it wasn’t there. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, another jazz lover actually saw the show, and it was mind-blowing! Wouldn’t you like to know or read about it?

I have always been of the mindset that The Jazz Half is for the community. It still is, and always will be. In addition, I have always believed that we as jazz lovers should share any information we have to help spread the word, and lift the music as a stronger voice. Therefore, The Jazz Half wants to give the community the opportunity to do this.

Let’s kick thing up a notch, and “add some spice” if you will. Starting here and now, if you’ve attended a jazz event and wish to share it with the community, send it to The Jazz Half! If you’ve taken pictures, feel free to throw them in. Whatever you share (with acknowledgement and full credit going to Y-O-U) will be visible for all to see on The Jazz Half Blog, the Inner Circle bulletins & newsletters, as well as the Jazz Half facebook group (currently in transition to a full-blown FB page) making it easy to share with all your friends. The same applies to upcoming events. If you know about a scheduled event that you don’t see on the calendar, let us know! It will be added to the calendar faster than you can say “Salt Peanuts” with of course, gratitude and credit to you for sharing with the community!

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email at thejazzhalf@gmail.com. Thank you for your continued support in The Jazz Half, and more importantly, your love and support for jazz music, and live music in the Queen City!
