The site is almost three months old and going strong. Recently there has been a great response from artists sending gig announcements for the calendar. Look for more of these to start appearing in the next week or so. Artists: if you want your announcement to appear on the front page in the blog section, send me some more information about the gig, as well as an image if you can.

Some statistics:

Among the last 500 visitors to the site:
100 are from Portland
46 from Vancouver, WA
34 from Beaverton
23 from Seattle
14 from Wilsonville
10 from Tigard
6 from Hood River
3 from Gresham
1 from Hillsboro
1 from Salem

Of course, not all visitors’ browsers report a city, so these aren’t hard statistics, but they do paint a rough picture of the visitor demographics. JazzPDX.org’s response: there should be more jazz (and jazz fans) in Gresham and Hillsboro. Does anyone know of anything going on in either of these two suburbs?

Weekly gigs:

I’d like to put together a comprehensive list of all of the jazz gigs that occur each week, such as Mel Brown on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at Jimmy Mak’s, Neil Masson on the weekends at the Benson Hotel, Ron Steen’s jam sessions, etc. Please get in touch or leave a comment on this post if you have ideas for this listing.
