Jazz Forums/Bulletin Boards

[Peter]

Would like others recommendations on good Jazz forums / bulletin boards on the web. Thanks.

Well, this one's not bad.

Seriously, I've checked out others, but this one's the best. No need to go far beyond org. quite frankly.

This one is hands down the most useful, especially if you use google's search function to drag up old threads. site:organissimo.org search term

You could check out Jazztalk. Some of the same members are over there.

If AAJ still has their forums up, I suppose that would be a good place to check out.

The Steve Hoffman forums have some Jazz heads on it, but I'd tread lightly there. The heavy-handed moderators there (Gorts) can make it a difficult ride.

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, others didn't really stick for me either.

Online bulletin boards are a dying breed, no matter what interest they cater to.

Talk Music has a lively and well-informed jazz section.

What Dolan said. It's almost easier to set up a Moderated Group in FB - and cheaper, for sure.

The AAJ forums is more quiet these days, but still exists and there is a great amount of information there for musicians and non musicans. This forums is more vibrant, also a lot of knowledgeable people who will recommend beautiful music to you. I value both places.
When you play guitar, there is a Belgian forums I really hear good things about: jazzguitar.be Many jazzguitarists I know, go there.
