Your Friends at All About Jazz
If you have been looking for an opportunity to contribute to All About Jazz, but are concerned about a time commitment, please consider a profile editor position. You have the flexibility to add information and develop profiles on your own schedule.
We would ideally like to build a complete directory of profiles for musicians past and present, so fans of a particular artist or fans looking to promote their local heroes can get involved.
Becoming a page editor takes seconds. First, create your member account. Once you're a member, select a page to edit from the Musician Center and click the “Become a [Musician Name] page editor" link at the bottom of the musician's page. We'll then assign you editorial access to the page.
Once you have established your member account, you're also free to create pages for musicians currently not listed at the Musician Center. You can also upload events on their behalf.
Completing a musician page involves adding key information about an artist: biographical information, photographs, website URL, new release information, instrument, and discography. You can also include date of birth, teaching information, and so on. Here are two examples:
Miles Davis
Pat Metheny
Our goal is to complete pages for the following musicians first. Feel free to request as many as you care to maintain. Or start fresh, and create pages for musicians not currently listed in the directory.
For example: Edward Zucker and Michael Ricci maintain the venue directory, festival directory, submit local news, and perform outreach in the Philadelphia area. As result, we've developed an active Philadelphia following at the website. We'd like to do the same for other cities (internationally) and are looking for jazz supporters at the local level.
