Howard Mandel has the scoop that JazzTimes may be going under.

Like Mandel (who contributes to NPR News), we've attempted to contact the editors at the magazine, and so far haven't gotten any responses back. We'll keep you posted on what we hear back.

We hope the rumblings are not true, even if the evidence is. The magazine recently launched a snazzy new Web redesign too, which we would hate to see disappear.

UPDATE: Music print mags folding is certainly nothing new in this economic climate. I forgot to mention that NPR's Song of the Day editor Stephen Thompson posted about yesterday's death knells at the All Songs Considered blog.
