#Jazzlives -- the Twitter
campaign aimed at demonstrating that there is
a big and enthusiastic audience for live
jazz -- is one year old. What has it wrought?
First: What is #jazzlives and how does it work? To participate in the campaign, audience members at live jazz performances "tweet" - write a post on their Twitter account-- about who they heard and where they heard them, including "#jazzlives" in the total 140 characters. You can view all #jazzlives posts as a "stream" on various websites and blogs, including this one. You can also view #jazzlives "tweets" by going to Twitter.com and searching on #jazzlives. You don't need a Twitter account to do this. But if you want your own #jazzlives stream, please leave a note in the "comments" box at the end of this post, and you'll be sent details.

What if there's more to jazz than you suppose? What if jazz demolishes suppositions and breaks all bounds? What if jazz - and the jazz beyond, behind, under and around jazz - could enrich your life?
