This past year, Teen Jazz has grown back into the site it was when I managed it full time almost ten years ago! I wish I had the numbers to compare, but unfortunately, I only added analytics to the site back in August of this year.
A few of the most popular searches bring readers to Teen Jazz have been young jazz musicians, young jazz artists, teen jazz reviews, bg duo ligature review and jazz for teenagers.
The 10 most popular articles on the website are:
