Since its inception in 2005, the All About Jazz Download Center has averaged over one million MP3 downloads annually through its MP3 Download of the Day program. The service is free to musicians and readers and it continues to be one of the most active sections at AAJ over the last six years.
"Download of the Day was popular from the outset, but it has really come into its own more recently thanks to the efforts of Dave Sumner, AAJ's new Download of the Day editor. Dave has done a fantastic job with musician outreach and spreading the word about this terrific opportunity for musicians and record labels. He has also more tightly integrated the download of the day schedule with AAJ editorial," says Michael Ricci, All About Jazz's founder and publisher.
Adds Sumner, "focusing my attention on jazz in the present tense has been one of the most rewarding music decisions I've ever made. I'm thrilled at the opportunity, through the Download of the Day, to help spotlight some of the great jazz being recorded today. It's an exciting time to be a jazz fan and I hope to give AAJ readers further evidence of it one day at a time."
