Jazzwise is a British monthly magazine focused on jazz, launched in 1997.[1] The magazine covers a range of jazz sub-genres and provides news coverage, a national gig guide, a jazz-on-film page, feature articles, and a review section that evaluates new musical releases, DVDs, books, and live performances. News stories also feature on the Jazzwise magazine website. Jazzwise instructs new jazz writers through its ongoing intern scheme and The Write Stuff workshops held each November during the London Jazz Festival.[2]
In 2006 Jazzwise editor Jon Newey won Journalist of the Year at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
