Hothouse (jazz club)
Hi, just a note that I have created a stub article on the Hothouse jazz club, formerly in the South Loop, Chicago, which closed in 2007. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 04:19, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Archiving
Any objections to setting up automated archiving for this talk page? If there aren't, I can set it up. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:04, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- I haven't seen any objections but I'm not sure that suffices as "consensus." -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:59, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- I would just be bold and go ahead with it. I can't see any objection and to be honest, this talk page needed archiving long ago. --tgheretford (talk) 17:48, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- Done. I have added ClueBot III's template, and (for now) I set the time interval to 1080 hours (45 days). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Jazz-music-project template
(Cross-posted to Template talk:Jazz-music-project) I noticed that the "album=" and "song=" categories had been removed from {{Jazz-music-project}} ([1]), which in turn led me to notice that Category:WikiProject Jazz album articles and Category:WikiProject Jazz composition articles had been blanked (i.e., removed from Category:WikiProject Jazz articles) and then subsequently deleted. I'm just wondering why this occurred (I can't find any relevant discussion). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have gone ahead and restored the sub-categories, and restored the parameters to the template. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:44, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

List of jazz standards (before 1930) peer review
Hi! I just added my name in the list of participants here. I'm currently working on the lists1,2,3,4 of jazz standards. I've left a request for peer review for List of jazz standards (before 1930) so if anyone would like to check the list out and give feedback on the peer review page I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Jafeluv (talk) 16:16, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Closed now. Thanks for your comments! Jafeluv (talk) 14:19, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Could some users able to cite sources pitch in on Thirteenth and Talk:Thirteenth. A users insists that straight-up thirteenth chords "don't exist". Hyacinth (talk) 05:18, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Reminder
Please remember that the WikiProject tag is called {{jazz-music-project}}. {{Jazz}} is the template that goes at the bottom of the article. Thank you. Jafeluv (talk) 08:24, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
- I would recommend WPJazz or WP-Jazz; Fully willing to help rename; then re-tag (using AWB) -- Mjquin_id (talk) 04:20, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Wouldn't creating a redirect from those titles be enough? A lot of people use {{WikiProject Jazz}}, anyway. Jafeluv (talk) 06:57, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Update: {{WPJazz}} already redirects to {{jazz-music-project}}. Jafeluv (talk) 08:39, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

100 Best Jazz Recordings
For what it's worth, the UK Daily Telegraph newspaper has released its list of 100 Best Jazz Recordings (link). I'm not sure whether this type of list is worthwhile, but there it is, in case anyone wanted to update an article with "The album is number x in the Daily Telegraph's list of 100 Best Jazz Recordings." -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:18, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- The archives hold the previous inconclusive discussion around album lists and the arbitrariness of the existing List of jazz albums. The Telegraph article notes some of the same issues about out-of-copyright material being available in a "bewildering variety of permutations". It's got a better balance of 1920s-30s records than the existing List page - but after proclaiming "the shape of free jazz to come" at no 58 it doesn't look like the selector(s) wated to go further, leaving an awful big gap IMO.

Ross Petot is at AfD

Free jazz and Avant-garde jazz articles - opinions sought
These two articles appear to be telling the same story. Each has its strengths, each its weaknesses. Maybe the weaknesses are greater in the Avant-Garde article, in terms of historical breadth, sequence and the Notable Musicians list. But both have problems of missing citations. I'm curious about others' views on their merits and what if anything should be done to change and possibly combine them? AllyD (talk) 19:40, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm thinking the two could be merged. Myself, I see free jazz (at least in hindsight) as a subset of avant-garde jazz, but that's just my opinion. FWIW, my old All Music Guide to Jazz (1st ed., 1994) distinguishes between free jazz (which it fairly much equates with Coleman, Ayler, and Taylor), Chicago avant-garde (e.g. AACM) and New York avant-garde (e.g. Bill Frisell). I am not sure what AMG online might have to say though personally I think they overcategorize things. My $0.02. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:05, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
This article has been carrying a Notability notice since April 09, with the editor adding the notice commenting "This article has no focus or merit". That seems a reasonable summary. It is also mentioned as a genre in the Jazzfooter Does anyone think it worth saving? And if so, would anyone care to actually put some content to it? AllyD (talk) 16:42, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- Well, it seems to be talking about two different things (which raises the question of how to re-direct this). It cites one source, The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia (via factmonster.com), that equates the term with cool jazz. The other source specifies a style of Stan Kenton. I admit I am only somewhat familiar with Stan Kenton but I have never seen him associated with cool jazz. I suppose there is jazz that is not progressive but the term itself seems largely meaningless (and at best, extremely vague). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:51, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Removal of reviews from the album infobox
Hi, you may find the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums#Professional_reviews_moved_from_infobox interesting. Cheers, BNutzer (talk) 10:40, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
