The person behind the calendar
More music.
Less searching.
Hi, I’m George Mount, founder of Stringfest Analytics. Jazz Watch is a little project for finding a good live set without searching a dozen schedules.
From Cleveland, with a love of music.
I’m based in Cleveland, home to a wonderful music scene. Jazz Watch brings together free jazz broadcasts from clubs, concert series, and music schools—including our own BOP STOP.
It’s a companion to Classical Watch, my calendar of free conservatory livestreams. Part of the inspiration for the name Stringfest comes from string instruments and classical music. These calendars are another way to share the music.
A small experiment, built with AI.
I built Jazz Watch with help from Codex. It brings together music and a familiar part of my analytics work: turning scattered information into something useful. The goal is a simple, carefully checked calendar you can enjoy.
The venues and musicians make the performances possible. Their official pages provide the schedules and viewing destinations, and they retain the rights to their broadcasts. Jazz Watch is an independent guide.
Enjoying the calendar?
Know someone who uses Excel at work? An introduction to my training at Stringfest Analytics is a lovely way to support projects like this.

Times are shown in your selected time zone, with the original source time beside each set. The calendar checks official schedules daily and can look up to 45 days ahead. Some venues only announce their next show.
Free registration is clearly labeled. Schedules can change, and saved calendar events do not update automatically. When no end time is supplied, calendar downloads reserve 90 minutes as an estimate.
