The StLJN jazz site of the week is Casa Valdez Studios, the blog of David Valdez, a working jazz saxophonist in Portland, Oregon. The site includes a mix of local and national jazz news; Valdez' original interviews; opinion pieces on various musicians, recordings and live shows; and a lot of jazz education content, with plenty of links to useful online resources such as free downloads of fake books, sheet music and recordings.
Valdez has a clear, straightforward writing style that's easy to follow, and though his posting schedule is a bit irregular, he offers quality information when he does post. His site is a good read for anyone interested in jazz, and music students will find Casa Valdez Studios to be an especially useful resource.
