The main Jazz & Blues
website - www.JazzBluesFlorida.com - contains
multiple facets and areas of interest for our visitors. Here is a helpful guide
to the site and what JBF is and is not:
The home page of our website
identifies the JBF logo and has an option to join our mailing list. Unlike
other entities, Jazz & Blues Florida only sends music news to you based on
your preferences for type of music interest, region of the state, and your
choice of email frequency.
Banners at top, bottom and the
right side of all website pages are paid promotional advertisements by our
clients from and in the music scene. The tabs below the JBF logo take you to
other areas of the site including our very popular jazz and blues news blog which is visited by over
13,000 readers/month and has a life-time readership of over 250,000. The JBF
Blog contains both paid promotional information on upcoming events around the
state as well as coverage of various live music performances and other articles
of interest.
"Music Listings"
provides hundreds of current and upcoming listings for clubs, concerts and
festivals throughout the state of Florida, and is organized by region. JBF
artist and venue clients are highlighted, linked, and mapped. Free listings are
available by following the submission guidelines (see top of each region page).
JBF has an extensive years-long
and continually updated library of photos and videos from music events in the
jazz and blues world of Florida. Several places to view these are our Facebook
page , our JBF YouTube
channel , and our Blog.
We post mostly short video clips of live performances to share what we are
experiencing - and in many instances, to give you time to make it there for the
show! We are not claiming to be professional videographers - but we DO confess
to being genuine music lovers!
Browse the JBF site for other
items of interest such as our collection of recommended links including
live-streaming radio and web programming, educational resources and state-wide
jazz and blues society information.
What Jazz & Blues Florida is
NOT: We regularly receive numerous requests for types of services - many
expecting free services - that are not a part of who we are and what we offer
to our clients and/or readers. We are not a booking agency! However, our Music Listings are
available for viewing by artists looking to book gigs as well as by all the
music lovers out there looking for live music! Help yourself! If you are an
artist and wish to be included in the Listings as one of the red
highlighted/linked & mapped entries, you may contact us regarding the
ultra-affordable "Premium Listing" service that we offer to have all
your Florida gigs included in that manner. As any business must operate, our time
and efforts must be directed towards those that support us - our clients - and
we in turn offer 110% support in return. We simply do not have the time to
spend offering free services to help artists, venues, or other music-related
businesses when we have clients who deserve our time and efforts.
There are many services we can
offer a potential client that we will be more than happy to discuss with you
via email or phone. Our rates are more than affordable for the exposure you
receive from our large data base of subscribers and contacts. No other similar
entity can come close to our reasonable rates for the return you will receive
in quality and depth of promotion. Please contact us if this interests you!
This being said, we are not locked into a concrete format forever, and are
constantly looking for alternatives to improve the music scene we involve
ourselves in.
We also pride ourselves on being
honest and straight-forward in our dealings, and the results of this is
reflected in feedback we receive from our clients and readers (www.JazzBluesFlorida.com/Feedback).
We report real, substantiated numbers (www.JazzBluesFlorida.com/reports)
and are willing to provide any information requested that does not violate the
trust put in us by our clients or readers.
We welcome new readers as well as
advertisers to
the Jazz & Blues Florida family. We strive to support and promote real
music, by real people, in real places. We hope to see you out there in the
music scene!
Thanks!
Any questions, just call…
Charlie
