Launched in March 1982 by jazz writer Gene Kalbacher with his wife Lynn and Jeff Levenson, Hot House Jazz is the longest running jazz magazine in the Tri-State area. A free publication available in all the jazz venues, it’s devoted solely to previews of jazz events throughout the New York Metropolitan area. It’s the perfect guide for jazz enthusiasts who want to stay current, knowing that what’s listed and who’s featured in Hot House Jazz is happening the same month the magazine comes out either in print, online or on apps. Managing editor Gwen Kelley and her staff (a loyal crew of contributing writers, copy editor Becca Pulliam and production/art director Karen Pica) keeps delivering the highest possible quality:

We’re broadening the scope and depth of our coverage.
Our expanded online presence provides direct access to musicians’ and venues’ own websites
Our pages are more numerous and colorful than ever before.
And we deliver hard copies around the city before the last weekend of every month.
Entering its 5th decade, Hot House Jazz is stronger than ever. Its readership includes many New Yorkers but also jazz enthusiasts living far from New York, and outside the U.S. Loyal partners, musicians, club owners, concert promoters and record company execs eager to build the audience for the music rely upon Hot House Jazz to advertise their events. Since jazz never stands still, neither will we!
