VELLA INTERACTIVE

Created in 1991 by Joseph Vella, Jazz Online was the world's first commercial interactive network devoted exclusively to jazz. What started out as a San Francisco based bulletin board system evolved into the first commercial jazz web site in 1994. As one of the most original and leading content based jazz destinations on the web, Jazz Online set the standard for the jazz sites that followed. In addition, Jazz Online built and managed the first web sites for major labels and artists including Blue Note Records, Verve Records, Warner Bros. Jazz and Pat Metheny Group. Jazz Online also pioneered online marketing services for the music industry and served as an audio/video production house.
