This communique was sent out yesterday on the critical state of JazzTimes magazine…
For freelance writers and photographers, this means that any new assignments are pending and that payments for previous assignments remain in limbo, as the JazzTimes ownership seeks the necessary financing. I am hopeful, yet not certain, that JazzTimes will resume publishing, but the outcome is out of my hands. Evan and I were included in the staff that was furloughed, but we are still doing what we can to keep the magazine moving ahead. I will provide more information as soon as it’s available.
Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
Best regards,
Lee Mergner
