June, for members of the Jazz Journalists Association, was a month to bust out — but then, what month isn’t?
Spreading news and views of music, via films, original orchestra jazz, liner notes, features, profiles of musicians and reviews of their works, reports from the industry, reports from unique scenes: We’ve been doing it all.
Read about festivals in Vilnius and Nickelsdorf on JJANews.org, for instance. Listen to The Buzz: The JJA Podcast. Take a look at the JJA Photography Master Class featuring NYC-based freelancer Adriana Mateo (now on YouTube), first of a monthly series hosted by Hrayr Attarian (now on YouTube).
New JJA members include Hamilton Colllege (Clinton, NY) scholar and oral-history videographer Monk Rowe, broadcaster/bassist Greg Bryant, estimable critic Virgil Mihaiu of Cluj, Romania; Croatian writer in Austria Vid Jeraj and, as student members, photographers Frank Hirschhausen of Herzogenrath, Germany, and Danica Pantovic of Belgrade, Serbia.
