About The Host - The Past

I worked in many aspects of the music industry in those days from Retail and Wholesale Sales and Marketing, Musician, Nightclub Manager, Piano Tuner, Repair Man, Guitar Teacher, Session Man, Sound Engineer but I always had to perform as a presenter on radio or in clubs to let people hear the treasuretrove of wonderful music that I had accumulated in my head over the years.

When the internet came to prominence in 1994 I was working in my trained profession
( the day job ) of corporate marketing, PR and multimedia and in 1994 I started my own company and created my first online jazz website called 'The Jazz Site'. 

In 1997 I was approached by Michael Ricci, founder of the All About Jazz project, to help him get started up and I began writing reviews for a number of years for his website.

In 1999 I was asked by Adam Sieff from Sony Jazz in London to develop their online web presence for the greatest jazz catalogue ever known featuring the Columbia, CBS, Legacy, CTI, Epic recordings and their own World Jazz and Sony Jazz albums. This included almost every major artist known to the history of jazz including more than 80 Miles Davis albums.

In 1999 I changed 'The Jazz Site' website to the 'EuroclubdeJazz' branding which became enormous online for five years with thousands of artists and visitors each month to the thousands of pages of jazz information and the eight online Radio Webcasts ( incidently on JazzNet247 Radio ) in various jazz genres.  Sadly a serious family illness meant that brand was handed over to a colleague who continues its name today albeit in a Trad Jazz format.

In 2000 I won the 'Addy Award', a national marketing award in the USA for 'Innovative Multimedia Design' with Steinway pianist Steve Barta from Colorado Springs for an Enhanced CD Project which created a very unique way for independent musicians to sell thousands more of their CD projects, the concept is still available and as valid today.

In 2001 I was asked by Scott Adams, host of the Sounds Of Brazil syndicated radio show in Chicago, USA to help him with his online media presence and designed his first ENewsletter as well as writing reviews for his hard copy magazine.


About The Host - The Present

Like the EuroclubdeJazz, JazzNet247's success depends on networking and the artists and fans telling their friends all about it. Already we have a loyal following in the USA, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Italy, France, Benelux, Austria, Scandinavia, Switzerland and Germany, all great markets for the artists we feature.

The jazz market share is relatively small so the large record labels are not interested in promoting it too much. As a marketeer by profession I know that marketing is expensive for independents but in my research and experience I have found that there is so much quality music available but not enough exposure to it. So I hope the artists and fans will tell their friends to tune in and join the buzz.
