Jazz Clubs Worldwide

Jazz Clubs Worldwide Jazz Clubs Worldwide first went on-line in 1996. The project was conceived, designed, and programmed by Valve Trombonist Peter Maguire.

''For me one of the really great things about travel is the opportunity to seek out some jazz clubs. Sometimes to listen, sometimes a chance to sit-in with the band playing on that particular night. I think there is no anticipation like wandering into some previously unvisited jazz club. The quality of the music can and does vary, but if you are a stranger in town, it still is far preferable to sitting around the bar in the hotel watching 'the box'. I have scores of memories. Thad Jones in Zürich. Lou Donaldson and Buddy Defranco, in Hamburg. Johnny Griffin in Paris. Peter King in London. A whole host of a places and musicians known and unknown, very many with a level of talent and originality that belies their relative obscurity.'' ''And so... Jazz Clubs Of The World...An attempt to provide a source of information about jazz clubs and other jazz venues wherever you might find yourself. A very big task! Well everything has to start somewhere. What I need is info, not particularly about the bands and the musicians, though this would be interesting, but the jazz clubs, where, when, what kind of jazz if there is a house policy, who is the patron, telephone number, etc.etc.etc. Submit the details on the interactive form provided and I will list your contribution. I need your input now!'' ''Best Regards, Peter Maguire. Bruxelles. November 1996.''
