ALLABOUTJAZZ.COM LAUNCHES MP3 DOWNLOAD STORE

James Pearse, the AAJ Download Store Manager, has experienced many facets of the music industry firsthand having worked for a record label, a physical music store, and an online retailer; and has helped contour a store that will appeal to jazz buyers and sellers alike. “The music downloads will be accessible from almost any page at the AAJ website. If you go to an AAJ page about Freddie Hubbard, for instance, you will find links there to download and purchase Freddie Hubbard songs and albums. You'll see this integration throughout the website. AAJ is in a unique position to play a key role in boosting jazz download sales. We're very excited about what this can mean for jazz musicians and fans everywhere,” explains Pearse. AAJ will work directly with record labels and distributors to build a store that offers a deep catalog of music spanning the many genres of jazz.
