All About Jazz, the web’s leading destination for jazz news, has teamed with Dutch based MFM Media to produce a quarterly jazz magazine through the Issuu.com publishing platform.

Each issue reflects choice content previously published at All About Jazz with strong consideration given to connected material. For instance, the first issue focuses on the legendary Wayne Shorter. In addition to the interview with Shorter, All About Jazz talks to trumpeter Wallace Roney about his desire to perform and record Shorter’s “Universe” compositions, and to fellow trumpeter David Weiss about his new recording project, Endangered Species: The Music of Wayne Shorter.
