    2. Thanks for this incredible resource. As one who listens to the recordings of many of these artists, I’ve always wished there was more music to hear than what is available commercially (all of which I’ve purchased, often more than in one format!). So, having these live recordings available is a godsend. And you’ve done a beautiful job of organizing and making it easy to listen to the music.

  5. Thank you so much for maintaining this website, an incredible vault with tons of good music. Picture me almost drooling on the mousepad while browsing for the first time through your archives. Being a pro musician I really appreciate what you are doing here. I have been collecting radio broadcasts of live jazz myself for a long time and tried to attend many live concerts even if that meant driving hundreds of kilometres. Nevertheless there are shows too far away or others I could not see because of myself playing the evenings.

    Peace, love and jazz, Stephan

  29. Hello there “LJL”. This is Plöp from 365trios. Your blog has been a source of so much wonderful music over the years. For that I thank you. I was just looking through a folder of mine called ‘The Great Jazz Deluge’ and I realized that a lot of it originated from you here and your blog. ~ Plöp

  42. Hi, just discovered this wonderful site, what a pleasure to see so much great music, beautifully presented in such a way that it’s very clear how much you care about the music and want to give it the repect it deserves. Of course, the first thing I went for had to be … the KingCrimson 2016 tours post. I was at the Aylesbury concert with which this starts… keep up the good, no, great, work! Off to look through the other posts now, can’t wait!

    1. Thanks. LJL is only an aggregator of live jazz music. We only feature material that is freely available elsewhere. (Admittedly, we do adjust the EQ sometimes and do a bit of stereo enhancement here and there…) The sources of the material are listed here: https://livejazzlounge.com/stats/
      Peace, love and jazz.

  95. Hi LJL,

    Thanks a lot for your time and dedication for the music. Your web is an oasis. No bad links, no popups, and the only publicity and promotion is for the music of the artists. I’m an amateur musician, and as an artist I would be proud to, some day, be so good musician, that my music could be in a web like yours. Perhaps some day Bill (or the people that advice him) will understand that your web is a good way to promote the music.

    All my best wishes to you and your comunity,

    Xavi B

  116. I started to scroll through your catalog, and before I was even a quarter of the way down was in love. This is an astonishing collection; so many artists and collaborations I either was unaware of or never had the chance to experience. Kudos to whoever is behind this, as your love for great music, live performance thereof, and desire to share it with the world (freely, no less!) is a blessing to the planet and its inhabitants. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  117. I found out about this site from the website of Lyle Mays, who sadly passed away last year.
    It’s a wonderful site with very good taste and love of music. Thank you very much.
