Rather than plumb again the deepest depths of the Jazz Internet, today I am updating the blogroll/link list, a maintenance task long overdue. In addition to noting the recently-launched Web sites of Chris Kelsey and Chris Albertson, both of whom I've mentioned here before, I might point out a few more.

—Earlier this year, Spinner announced a new partnership with All About Jazz. Journalist Tad Hendrickson is now the weekly jazz correspondent there — he has a few features up already.
—WFMU DJ Scott McDowell (of The Long Rally) also maintains a blog for many things avant and improvised. It's called Love, Gloom, Cash, Love (after Herbie Nichols, presumably), which was totally one of the names I had in mind for this blog.
—Jim Macnie writes for many places. He keeps a register and a few terse comments at his Lament For A Straight Line.
—At jazz.about.com, saxophonist and writer Jacob Teichrow covers a range of topics: reviews, blogosphere chatter, guides for new listeners.
—Pamela Espeland keeps tabs on the Minneapolis/St. Paul jazz scene. At Bebopified, she does that and more — including bonus coverage of Monterey Jazz Festival 52.
—Though let go from the L.A. Times, Don Heckman is writing for the International Review Of Music blog.
—The Jazz Video Guy has a home on the Web: Jazz Video Guy.
—Jazz Studies Online, courtesy of Columbia University's growing Center for Jazz Studies.
—Hard bop is the name of the game at Jazz Note SDP.
—Why wasn't JazzTimes on this list before?

Also in housekeeping, I've added all the sites from Jazz Now contributors to the list too. Would you believe I haven't done that yet ... anyway, I presume I'm forgetting some other stuff I've noted in the last few weeks — let me know if so.

Finally, there is Smooth Jazz Feuds. This is my new favorite thing on the Internet. (H/T Garrett Shelton)

—DJA, WNYC, OMG: Another day, another Darcy James Argue live recording. I know this isn't a link to a blog — though you should already be reading secretsociety.typepad.com — but it's good music. Having been to WNYC's Soundcheck studio, I'm quite impressed they could cram 18 musicians, a conductor and a host in there. More DJA on public radio: WFMU.
