Highly anticipated website launches in two hundred cities—Mobile App to follow



Philadelphia, PA: Until now, jazz music has lacked a single comprehensive source where fans could access upcoming event information locally and around the world. Now they can, with JazzNearYou.com.



AllAboutJazz.com, jazz music's most viewed and longest running website has launched JazzNearYou.com, an event- and community-driven website that alerts jazz fans to upcoming shows, news, and activity in 200 cities worldwide.



In addition to a comprehensive event guide, JazzNearYou.com provides an extensive venue and festival listing, photos, news, articles and links.



Carefully programmed for easy access, concert goers are automatically directed to their local events page, while travelers can view events in other cities. A reader traveling to London can change their page to london.jazznearyou.com; a reader traveling to Paris can change their page to paris.jazznearyou.com, and so on. Readers can even change the language setting, so readers in Istanbul can view their website in Turkish and readers in Italy can view their website in Italian.


Free to list; free to post!



Through its affiliation with AllAboutJazz.com, JazzNearYou.com already includes a directory of over 20,000 business listings and the website oftentimes receives over 1,000 new events in a single day.

Presenters, musicians, and promoters can choose from five different methods to submit events:

  • a submission form (for single and recurring events);
  • an upload form (for multiple events);
  • an export file;
  • a musician's GigPress feed;
  • the ArtistData feed.


Once entered, events appear across a network that includes JazzNearYou.com, AllAboutJazz.com, and the Jazz Near You weekly concert calendar email announcement.



“Jazz is a vastly untapped resource with tremendous potential," says All About Jazz / Jazz Near You Founder, Michael Ricci. “We repurposed the local capabilities of AllAboutJazz.com to create a series of rich media websites that can simultaneously serve and further unify hundreds of jazz communities worldwide. For folks in the business sector, this is about us supporting local jazz economies and helping local communities help themselves. JazzNearYou.com will inform fans daily, drive foot traffic to venues and drive ticket and merchandise sales. And by expanding the capabilities of AllAboutJazz.com, we can amplify our message and better connect people at the street level though organized outings to jazz events.”



Ricci concludes, “There was no single source for jazz event information until JazzNearYou.com. Our website will delight music fans by allowing them access to an unprecedented amount of information about live jazz; from New York to Tokyo and from Toronto to Buenos Aires.”
