The Independent Journal of Creative Improvised Music. Regular publication since 1976.
CADENCE MAGAZINE EDITORIAL POLICY
Beginning with the October 2007 issue, Cadence increased in number of pages, changed to perfect binding, and became a quarterly publication. Established in January 1976, Cadence Magazine was a monthly publication through its first 381 issues (until September 2007).
From its very first issue, Cadence has had a very open and inclusive editorial policy. This has allowed Cadence to publish extended feature interviews in which musicians, well known or otherwise, speak frankly about their experiences and perspectives on the music world; and to cover and review all genres of improvised music (resulting in, so far, over 55,000 reviews).
The existence of Cadence has never been dependent on advertising. Nor has Cadence ever knowingly allowed advertisers, personal friendships, or associations to affect any editorial policies or actions or the independence of its writers. We are reader supported.
Cadence essentially always has been and remains “the best independent magazine of Jazz, Blues, and Creative Improvised Music that money can't buy."
