And if you'd like to write about jazz for Medium, you can do it at The Riff, which has a great owner @kevinaalexander and editor in @thenoahlevy. You can tell them I sent you. One of them might add you as a writer if he sees this to encourage you.

The Riff is Medium's leading music publication, and Kevin and Noah are great. They also have a highly engaged audience, and you might gain followers quickly if you write for them. They just ran a piece I did on the social activism of Pussy Riot, and I think I'm closing in on 2k claps already.

You could write for The Riff about anything from, say, a Canadian musician or jazz club underappreciated by Americans to a book or TV or radio program about music that you love. You do NOT have to do an album review.
