This summer edition of Jupiter Index has interviews from Tiempro Libre, the Afro-Cuban jazz band to a new, grooving group from Austin, Texas, called Frantic Clam. We also have a new feature posted in our music corner section, which covers what an artist is listening to and what makes that music distinctive for them. This issue highlights Jorge Gomez, the leader of the group Tiempro Libre. Also, the folks who write for Jupiter Index are hard at work on our Tenth Anniversary edition. Some of the musical legend interviews we have for the fall issue will be rock musician Ian McLagan, formally from the band the Faces, to country recording artist and Grammy award-winning-producer Lloyd Maines.
As a non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas, our goal has been to not only offer help to a new crop of writers, but a place on the World Wide Web where music lovers could go to experience a fresh take on music, something uncommon, and genuine.
This magazine's goal is to share knowledge about musicians and to provide a site where people can learn more about music, discover new things about the artists they enjoy and have fun reading the many diverse interviews, CD reviews, concert and our noteworthy Web site reviews.
The name of the magazine comes from Mozart's "Jupiter" Symphony. That work is both complex and distinctive. We strive to share the same fullness and intensity good music has to offer. The word "index" refers to taking the pulse of something important. We at Jupiter Index love music and strive to convey this love though the magazine.
Each edition of Jupiter Index has provided people of diverse backgrounds an opportunity to interview new and established artists. We are also committed to helping people with their writing skills and sharing their thoughtful writing with our readers. Read what our writers have to share in our many sections, which include among others the "Interview," "Emerging Music" and our "Music Makers Feature" sections.
And, if you enjoy this publication as much as we enjoy putting it together, please tell your friends about us. We thank you for reading Jupiter Index Web magazine.
