DownBeat Magazine

    
We have been asked  by the publisher  to remove DownBeat magazine or we will be contacted by attorneys. So we have closed the DownBeat page. This is the only music magazine in the world that has prohibited the use of older issues on our site, and we had hoped to include their in-depth jazz coverage... a genre not generally covered in depth in other publications. And, further confusing us, issues as recent as 2020 of DownBeat are on Internet Archive!

Note:
This site had the only searchable index of  the magazine on this or any other place on this planet.That resource is now deleted.		  
Note
Your webmaster's first job in radio in 1959 was at WCUY 92.3, an FM station in Cleveland, Ohio. It programmed jazz exclusively, and our studio was always full of back issues of Down Beat and there was a notebook with articles about most of the artists we played; we referred to that often when adding "color" to the introduction off a particular album cut.
An interesting jazz site:
