••JAZZIZ 20th ANNIVERSARY
JAZZIZ was 20 years old in 2003, and it, like everything else in the world, was still recovering from the shock of the 9-11 attack. JAZZIZ publisher and founder, Dr. Michael Fagien wanted to make a “special,” retrospective issue to mark the magazine’s 20th Anniversary. He thought of it as a gift to his JAZZIZ readers, many who had been subscriibers since the magazine’s beginning in Gainesville, Florida.
In 1983, while in medical school at the University of Florida medical school, and doing his residency at Shands Teaching Hospital, Michael’s wife Lori graduated from UF’s College of Journalism. Lori’s degree was in advertising, and she was interested in pursuing a career beyond being a housewife and mom. Michael still had two years of medical school in front of him, and wanted to help Lori start her career, before starting a family. Considering he and Lori had a common love of Contemporary Jazz music, it seemed a music magazine (JAZZIZ) was just what the young family doctor ordered.
In its 20 years, with long-time editor Larry Blumenfeld at the helm, JAZZIZ evolved into a well-respected music-industry publication, taking its place next to Billboard, Downbeat, and JazzTimes magazines.
••MUSIC.COM MAGAZINE
In the earliest days of publishing and selling music online (2000), a French media company bought the “MUSIC.COM” domain, and contracted JAZZIZ to produce a magazine to serve as a monthly, printed guide to the content of its site.
