We have been notified that Rifftides is on the Accredited Online Colleges’ list of 30 best blogs for jazz students. This is the entry:
Rifftides bursts at the seams with award-winning jazz critic and journalist Doug Ramsey’s observations on the scene past and present. He updates almost constantly with all the latest news and opinions from around the jazz world.
We’re 30th on the list, but the staff felt better when we found a disclaimer in the preamble:
This is by no means a comprehensive list, nor is it one ranking entrants in any particular order.
That’s a relief. To see the list, which is equipped with links, go here. Blogs are proliferating. You may find a few that you hadn’t known about. After you check them out, please hurry back.
Welcome, students. We’re all lifelong students, aren’t we?
Sorry, teach, the dog ate my homework… But seriously, folks, big congrats to the Big Boss Clam… er, Man, Rifftides staff (whoe’er they may be), and ‘tidepool of informants and correspondents–all of whom keep the Riffs going swimmingly. And now there’ll be schools of students clamoring at your door!
Congrats, Doug, and keep ’em great posts coming!
Congrats guys! I’m new to the blog, but it’s always cool to come across a cool jazz blog in an online landscape that’s severely lacking in great resources.
Nice work, Doug!
Although I’m in my 70s I still consider myself a jazz student – one of the reasons I regularly read Rifftides.
