An offer to jazz musicians from Jazz on the Tube

We will list your live-stream events on this site.

Note: This site is ONLY for musicians who are actively live-streaming during the current pandemic.

To list you we need the following information:

1. The name of group or artist

2. Day and time of performance with time zone

3. The link to the site where you are streaming from (the more specific the better)

4. A link to how people can pay you (optional)

5. A link to your merchandise store (optional)

We will check the info you send and if all the links work, we make a page for you and add it to our calendar which is promoted to a list of over 30,000 active email subscriber jazz fans.

If the info you send it not complete, too vague to be useful or the links don’t work, out of courtesy to our readers we will not add it to the calendar so kindly please take care that the information you send is complete and accurate.

We’re as stretched as anyone else is right now so please take care with your submission. We don’t have customer service resources to apply to this free service.

Here’s a way to conceive of this…

Streaming video rent parties for pay

Totally legit.

Fans pay for concert tickets, CDs, and cover charges, why not streaming? They just need to be educated which is what we’re doing.

But please, send us ready-to-go projects only.

Not plans, speculations, incomplete or inaccurate information, videos of performances recorded pre-pandemic or press releases please. Thanks.

Review:

This is the eleventh in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

Keith Davis has been a top-notch jazz pianist for 40 years. He attended Berklee, studied with many major jazz artists (including trumpeter Kenny Wheeler), and worked along the way with both the Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw orchestras, David “Fathead” Newman, Donald Byrd, Pat LaBarbera, Jamie Baum, Wallace Roney and Javon Jackson among others.

Based in Greenville, South Carolina where he teaches, Davis works regularly with his trio and has three CDs out as a leader including the recent But Were We.

On this performance from Mar. 16, 2020, Keith Davis shows that he is also a fine solo pianist; he plays his original “Freewheeler” which is dedicated to the late Kenny Wheeler, developing the piece as it evolves and providing not only an enjoyable listening experience but making the case for his placement as a major modern mainstream jazz pianist.

How black musicians helped reform Local 802

Interview with Jacob Goldberg


Download the mp3 here

Jazz on the Tube interviews Jacob Goldberg author of “Swingin’ the Color Line.”

Music is a calling – but it’s also an occupation.

Fair pay, unrestricted job opportunities, good working conditions, the need for benefits like health care and retirement support…all these are issues for musicians too.

African-American musicians played an important role in reforming Local 802, the New York City musicians union, and their actions had widespread ramifications not only for New York-based musicians, but musicians – and workers – everywhere.

Unfortunately, the audio quality has some problems in spots, but this a very eye opening story.

You can get Jacob’s book “Swingin’ the Color Line: African-American Musicians and the Formation of Local 802” by visiting Lulu.com

Jazz from Detroit!

Interview with Mark Stryker


Download the mp3 here

Jazz on the Tube interviews Mark Stryker, author of the book “Jazz from Detroit.”

I put an exclamation point on this one.

Why?

Because if you don’t know the Detroit jazz story, it’s going to shock you.

But don’t take it from me…

“There is no other city like Detroit: the musicians, the vibe, the people.” – Sonny Rollins

“No city has meant more to American musical culture than Detroit.” – Pat Metheny

You want names?

How about Donald Byrd, Wardell Gray, Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, Howard McGhee, Major Holley, Gerald Wilson, Alice Coltrane, Al McKibbon, Billy Mitchell, Geri Allen, Lucky Thompson, and Kenny Burrell.

And that’s the short list from just one Detroit high school.
