Welcome to “On The Downbeat” – a site created for independent jazz musicians in the NYC area.
It’s about intensity – and providing a link between the intensity required to make the music – and the intensity required for the business. People have to help each other out – in the interest of keeping the art new, creative, intense and alive.
All independent jazz musicians are welcome to submit their biographies and promote upcoming gigs with us. Obviously, we’re just getting started here – but as we get into our groove – we’ll have community calenders available, advising of everyone’s upcoming performances, and any track releases. We hope to provide this site as a resource to other musicians – post your tips, questions, suggestions, album recommendations, reviews, sarcastic comments, post ads for things you’re looking for – or things that you’re looking to get rid of (but please no stinky shower flops circa 1994 – no one wants them, and I doubt they relate in any way to music).
