We haven't reached out goal of 1,000 contributions, but the fund drive dollars received to date have been put to very good use. --Michael Ricci, All About Jazz
All About Jazz's fund drive continues—readers receive a Google ad-free experience and help fuel website growth for $20/year

Since the fund drive launch, All About Jazz has completed the following projects:

  • Relaunched the Photo Gallery. It no longer requires the Flash plug-in to upload images;
  • Launched the Jazz Story Project.
  • Improved article searching. Readers can order articles by most read or most recommended;
  • Included a ticket link for ticketed events in the Jazz Near You eblast;
  • Improved website security by converting to https;
  • Improved website speed by upgrading to http/2;
  • Added more event details and improved app-to-server communication in the Jazz Near You app.
  • Created two new promotional services: Musician of the Week and Venue of the Week;
  • Improved Big Bopper ad service by including a wide skyscraper ad in the right slide out panel;
“We're paying equal attention to content expansion, community engagement and technical improvements and we've done a nice job of balancing the dollars contributed to date," says All About Jazz's founder, Michael Ricci. “We improved website speed and security, we launched a very successful Jazz Story project, and now everyone can upload photos to our photo gallery from any device without having to install the Flash browser plug-in."
