I started Jazz Police because it is the kind of service I wanted. I
knew where to find live jazz at home, but as a traveler I had often
visited a city and relied on the hotel or taxi driver to tell me where
to hear live jazz, only to find out later I had missed really good
shows. So with the help of many contributers and great writers like our
Twin Cities contributing editor Andrea Canter, Jazz Police now
publishes guides to live jazz in cities nationwide and is a favored
jazz guide for travelers and locals alike.
JazzPolice.com has a mission of promoting the best of live jazz in
local communities nationwide. This service is of great benefit to
traveling jazz fans who are looking to enjoy great live jazz when on
the road. It also helps local jazz clubs and restaurants by sending
more out-of-town dollars to their businesses. By helping people find
live music Jazz Police helps increase demand for live jazz so, as Dewey
Redman recently said, “musicians can keep appearing and stop
disappearing”.
