The organ of the American Jazz Club, directed by Ed Humm and Bob Delson, American Jazz Monthly was a typescript publication of three to four pages per month. A total of eleven issues were published before it changed titles to American Jazz Review.
Articles of interest to club members formed the basis of most issues, including biographical information on musicians, instruments, discography, performance reviews, and record reviews. A letter from Louis Armstrong, thanking the Club for honorary membership, appears in issue 8. Perspectives on various styles of jazz, foundational to the “what is jazz” debate, appeared regularly until in issue no. 10 the editors banned publication of argumentative articles in order to assure the journal would remain “interesting and … intelligent.”
