The writer is Michael Steinman. Not only is his own blog informative,  
especially about jazz in New York City, but the the site itself  
contains many links about jazz. Here is a short write up about Michael.

MICHAEL STEINMAN first heard Louis Armstrong on records in the 1950s,  
a transcendent experience. An unashamed jazz addict, he writes for  
Cadence,CODA, Jazz Improv, and All About Jazz. He is the New York  
correspondent forThe Mississippi Rag. Michael is called upon  
frequently to write liner notes, which have been an integral part of  
compact discs on many labels, including Arbors, Nagel-Heyer, Stomp  
Off, NifNuf, Jazzology, Audiopphile, LaLa, Azica, Little Simmy, Amber  
Lake, and GelberMusic.

His heroes include Bobby Hackett, Vic Dickenson, Ruby Braff, Eddie  
Condon, Frank Chace, Jo Jones, Pee Wee Russell, Ben Webster, Frankie  
Newton, Hot Lips Page, Lester Young, Dave Tough, and Big Sid Catlett —  
but he admires many living musicians (jamming for tips and dinner)  
just as much: Jon-Erik Kellso, Mark Shane, Kevin Dorn, Bent Persson,  
Rebecca Kilgore, Marty Grosz, Dan Barrett, John Gill, Dawn Lambeth,  
Marc Caparone, Craig Ventresco, Melissa Collard, Barbara Rosene,  
Rossano Sportiello, Dan Levinson, Jeff Hamilton, Bryan Shaw, Dan  
Block, Harry Allen, Scott Robinson, James Dapogny, Bob Barnard . . . a  
long list.

He is writing a book of jazz profiles.
