The idea

In 2000 I started programming the first version of the jazz calendar. I had the idea to offer the large fan community of jazz a forum that kept them up to date on current concerts. The musicians themselves should be able to enter their events and other dates online.

Over the years, many new ideas and functions have been added, such as entering cds or concert tickets.

Thanks to the many visitors and users of these pages, thanks to your ideas and suggestions, jazz-concerts.com is still in development.

Where is the advantage over having your own website?

The majority of the musicians have their own website and present their dates there. Many also have a social media profile and are linked worldwide.

But which way does the jazz audience go? They are looking for concerts in their area. This gave me the idea of linking the data in such a way that a search based on these criteria would make sense:

musicians ↔ ensembles ↔ venues ↔ Cities

Let's have a look at this entry:
