Why another jazz magazine?
It’s a compulsory question when you start a new editorial challenge.

There is no univocal answer. Surely the intention is to go on a  different way. Not the press magazine way, which makes you wait at the  newsagent’s or in your postbox. Neither the modern way of a webzine or  Internet sites, among links, clicks and news where you get lost,  reading a lot but not exactly what you were searching for. Nor a  newsletter, which usually refers to other paper or virtual media,  often providing only some little abstracts of the contents.

Just an “email-zine” in PDF format. You will only need a little space  of your hard disk and if you like, you may want to honour us by  reserving it a folder where to save each issue. And for those who do  not want to read on the monitor, a high quality PDF version is always  possible to be printed and read.

This concerns the medium, that’s OK. But what about its contents? The  email-zine has been conceived to highlight on not yet well known  Italian jazz players or foreign jazz musicians who are out of the  great New York gigs or out of the famous European festivals.

So jazz. But where? Impossible anywhere, either in terms of energy or  skills, but always present in those places that cannot be genetically  or historically disregarded when talking about this kind of music.

A lot of good will and a pinch of conceit: these are the ingredients,  together with the shared firm belief to create something fine and  effective.
