Like the way this site is set up.  Similar to Prog Archives in functionality but with its own style.  The division of subgenres into three basic categories with subs under those was a good move.

I didn't see it covered.  Perhaps I missed it.  Is it OK to copy album reviews done for PA previously? 

I'm already seeing a few artists that have stuff I'd like to review that aren't in PA: Sting, Mangione...

hie Slartibartfast welcome to the site of wonder, hope you enjoy the stay here, im very noobe when it comes to jazz (so never take advice from me), I am here to learn and to become more sofisticated

i like artists like Pat Metheny, Steely Dan, probably Miles, Mahvishnu Orchestra, Gong (they are jazzy in parts, space jazz), Stevie Wonder, Jaga Jazzist, Bos Scaggs, Van Morrison, Chic Corea, smooth jazz, fusion jazz, jass with world beat, Paul Simon (I find him Jazzy as a solo artist spessially on Graceland).

Feel free to transfer over reviews, its best to change some wording so the review is geared to a jazz site, I do it all the time and still have some more to bring over.

Yeah good idea.  My PA reviews aren't generally tailored to PA but it wouldn't hurt to re-read and give a second polishing to.

Why is it that the two artists I mentioned above are in the Pop Jazz/Crossover category?  I guess I'm just a crossover kind of guy. Embarrassed

Though straight up Jazz really doesn't represent the majority of albums in my collection, I am looking forward to exploring more.

Yeah, generally I try to have my reviews sound like they could be posted anywhere without any "inside" references.
Whats interesting, from what I have seen on the internet, my or anyone's reviews can and do get re-posted almost anywhere.
