Jazz Times article spotlights Jazz Cruises LLC

And while we're on the subject of press coverage, the St. Louis-based company Jazz Cruises LLC is featured prominently in "Swing @ Sea," an article in the June 2007 issue of Jazz Times magazine. The piece does mention some other competing cruise producers, but Jazz Cruises LLC gets the lion's share of the attention, and there's even a photo of company head Anita Berry alongside Clark Terry. While it's something of a puff piece, it does give the reader some idea of what to expect from a jazz cruise, and there are a few interesting remarks from musicians about what it's like to play on one.

Alas, Jazz Times only offers article excerpts on their Web site, and the June issue isn't even online yet. When it is, presumably in the next few days, you may be able to read some of the piece here. Otherwise, interested readers can pick up the dead-tree version of the magazine at better bookstores and newsstands; it's the one with Joshua Redman on the cover, and the jazz cruise article starts on page 74.
