Some of you already know me!

What especially draws me here is the possibility to write reviews for such artists I like who are not in ProgArchives, and to write reviews for yet unreviewed albums/artists. (Compared to PA - where the albums of the most popular bands may get hundreds of reviews, which I see rather pointless -, this site seems a whole lot less active, and perhaps that's why my participation here may be more valuable at this point, having already written over 1200 reviews in ProgArchives.)

My relationship with the jazz genre is not as deep or versatile as with progressive rock. I started listening to jazz in the early/mid-90's. PAT METHENY and JAN GARBAREK are my oldest favourites. I prefer listening to relatively contemporary jazz, although I can enjoy older stuff too. Moreover, I have a soft spot for vocal jazz, jazz-flavoured pop and so called entertainment vocal music (the line between them is thin), and it was nice to notice that in this database there are artists as varied as Joni Mitchell, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Robert Wyatt, Patricia Barber and Katie Melua.

I hope I like being in here.

and we have some good Finnish jazz artists added too 

try again, if no success probably the easiest way is just to open new member's account with different psw which sometimes can be a matter, and close this one you already use, previously it helped

It's thrilling to see dozens of artists (especially in the Vocal Jazz) that I can be the first one to review. Hopefully I won't be OVER-active as a reviewer. Frankly it amazes me how seldom reviews appear here.
