All About Jazz has developed a musician discography feature that allows musicians to document and promote their body of recorded work to jazz fans worldwide.

“This project was part of a larger effort to help musicians promote their music beyond their latest release, and by repurposing information from our album reviews and by importing album information from Discog.com, we were able to kickstart a project that musicians and knowledgeable fans can get behind and support," enthused Michael Ricci, All About Jazz founder.

A musician's discography is accessed from their musician page. It also appears on a dedicated musician discography page and is linked from a variety of other pages including articles, news items and events.

All About Jazz provides the title, the album cover art, the year released, tracks, personnel, record label, and we include a musician's Amazon album store on their discography page, so All About Jazz can help sell their music.

Musician?

To complete or update your discography at All About Jazz: login; search by your name; bring up your musician page. From your musician page, click the blue button on a standard page or the orange button on a premium page; For standard pages, click the “Events / Photos / Tracks “ tab then click “Upload Album."

Fan? Help Us Complete Discographies

We're looking for members to join our administrative staff to complete/correct musician discographies. If you're interested in helping out, request access from the musician's page by clicking the “Claim Page" button.

We completed the (leader-only releases for the) Charlie Haden, Pat Metheny, Orrin Evans, Magos Herrera, Anton Schwartz, Ted Nash, Horace Silver, Bobby Timmons, Bill Carrothers, Sean Jones, Brad Mehldau, Stanton Moore, Bill Frisell, Ada Rovatti and Greg Reitan discographies during the testing process. Though adding and correcting album information is straightforward, it does require an understanding of downloading a graphic file (the album cover) and copy/paste. We have over 98,000 musician pages, so any help outside the musician community is greatly appreciated!
