Hi everyone, it's been a while since i posted here. I just wanted to update everyone that the site is doing quite well as far as visibility and traffic. SEO and and daily visitors have been going up steadily over the last month. I have been working on the interface this week to make it easier for users to upload music. The blog reviewers have been very kind so far. My biggest challange is getting to more bands and artists so we can continue to add more quality music to the site. Well that's it for now.

He's been working steady with major jazz artists since the day he graduated from Berklee School of Music in 1998.
