#jazzlives: listeners tweet from across the U.S.
Audiences for live jazz from East Coast to West, North border to South, all points between and some beyond are using Twitter and the hashtag #jazzlives to buzz about bands and venues they like. A campaign begun to encourage "anecdotal evidence" that demonstrates a vibrant listenership for America's indigenous music has resulted in hundreds of brief messages -- some with links to photos of crowds, video and podcasts. No final count yet; this weekend could be big with jazz fests at Tanglewood, Detroit, Chicago, LA, Philly, Aspen, Vail, etc. And this experiment isn't statistically relevant, just a volunteer shout-out. But people all over have big ears and broad tastes, as their little tweets demonstrate. Count yourself in by tweeting (Twitter accounts are free), using #jazzlives -- as individuals have in the following samples --
FYI, code: RT designates a "re-tweet," someone passing an already-posted tweet along as their own. Multiple hashtags allow a variety of searches for tweets on Twitter. FB means the tweet has also been posted at Facebook.
