Jazz Magazine is a French magazine dedicated to jazz.
History
[edit | edit source]The magazine was created in 1954 by Nicole and Eddie Barclay with Jacques Souplet.[1] Souplet had previously worked as director for the magazine Jazz Hot, but left to join the Barclay's at their eponymous record label Barclay, where he suggested they start a jazz magazine.[1] Nicole Barclay persuaded her husband to start the magazine,[2] and she is now credited as the magazine's founder.[3]
The first issue's cover was designed by Pierre Mani, the designer of Barclay's record sleeves.[1] It featured a photograph of Lionel Hampton.[4]
Initially, the magazine lost money, so Frank Ténot and Daniel Filipacchi were brought in and took over from the founders.[1] Jean-Louis Ginibre, was editor-in-chief from 1962 to 1971, and was succeeded by Philippe Carles, who stepped down in 2007.[1] Frédéric Goaty took over as editor-in-chief in 2009.[4]
An English language edition of the magazine was announced in 1956, with headquarters to be set in New York.[5] In 1970, Jazz Magazine Productions was set up to improve the jazz scene in France by holding more concert.[6]
In 2009, Jazz Magazine was combined with another jazz magazine, Jazzman.[7] It was purchased in 2014 by a group of investors chaired by Edouard Rencker,[8] and published by Jazz & Cie beginning from issue 662 (June 2014).[9][10] In 2017, the magazine had approximately 7,000 subscribers, and sold between 5-6,000 copies each month on newsstands.[4]
