<\/p>\n
\nDisclosure (just so you know– and to keep me on the good side of the Federal Trade Commission):<\/p>\n
Music mentioned in Jazz Beyond Jazz<\/i>
\nmay have been provided to me free of charge by the presenter or label
\nfor my independent review and reporting on this blog and elsewhere.
\nThis is standard industry practice, and has been during my more than
\nthree decades as a professional reviewer and critic. My long-standing
\npersonal policy: I don’t review –anywhere– any music for which I’ve
\nwritten liner notes or promotional materials. When I mention such
\nmusic in the course of other reporting, I note my role in it’s
\npromotion. <\/p>\n
I do participate in the Amazon Associates
\nprogram– which means that if you should decide to buy
\nsomething–anything, including books and electronics– from Amazon
\nafter clicking on an Amazon link in JBJ, I will receive a very small
\npercentage of the purchase price. Because the program applies to all
\nAmazon purchases made after clicking through from JBJ, not just linked
\nitems, it provides no incentive for me to promote any particular
\nrecording or other item over another. In any case, the revenue I
\nreceive from the program has, so far, been barely enough to pay my
\npersonal website hosting bill– though I would hope that, should you
\ndecide to make an Amazon purchase after clicking through from JBJ, you
\nwould regard this as a means of supporting my future online work. <\/p>\n
(A privacy note<\/i>:
\nWhen you make an Amazon purchase after clicking through from JBJ, I
\nhave no access to any of your personal information, including your
\nname. That all stays with Amazon.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-275","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-about","7":"entry"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1i3CL-4r","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":255,"url":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/jazzbeyondjazz\/2009\/10\/miles_ornette_cecil_goes_kindl.html","url_meta":{"origin":275,"position":0},"title":"Miles Ornette Cecil goes Kindle","author":"Howard Mandel","date":"October 12, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"Huzzah!
