It is indeed an honor for us to introduce an exceptional project to you today. It is an internet jazz portal dubbed „Jazzport“. Based on the paradigm of world renowned jazz servers (downbeat.com, allaboutjazz.com) we constructed a working model for this project, which would be the largest of its kind in the Czech Republic, facilitating access to jazz related material to the many jazz enthusiasts.
