Watch for the relaunch of this site in the very near future, with a brighter color scheme and improved organization of resources.

The Seacoast Jazz Society of Protsmouth, NH, is presenting two lectures: "From the Savoy to Storyville: Boston Jazz in the Forties and Fifties," and "Jazz in Wartime Germany," on Sundays April 27 and May 4, respectively. We recommend both highly. See the Events page for details.

The Mississippi Rag, now in its 35th year as "The Voice of Traditional Jazz and Ragtime," is now free on its website, www.mississippirag.com, in a very user friendly format. The latest transformation of the RAG took place in January 2008. For the year prior to that, the RAG was online but in a PDF format available only to subscribers. Now it's free to anyone who logs onto www.mississippirag.com. Readers are encouraged to write to editor@mississippirag.com if they want to be notified each month when the new issue is available.
