There are those who argue that the entire forum IS a DB Jazz forum. I never bought it, but there are those who argue that. I always thought a theory forum would be a good idea, but it never caught on either.
If you get a chance, be a sport and fill in your profile.  |

There was also a Pro forum - I asked the guy a few questions - which was run by a Pro who asked for questions on Jazz DB.

There isn't sufficient traffic on the DB side to justify another forum. | Maybe if there was a separate Jazz forum, it would get more traffic! I know that there have been a lot of discussions which have involved Jazz on the BG side - about how to play it, Jazz chord/scale theory, how to construct walking lines, recordings etc.
I often think it's strange, as the players mentioned in these discussions are invariably DBers. I think that people don't pose the questions over here as there is no obvious place to go and they see it's quiet, so feel intimidated. (I mean, some of the questions on the BG side are so "Stoopid" that nobody's going to feel intimidated about mentioning Jazz!) If there was a Jazz forum and a few debates/questions had already started, then I reckon this would be quite a popular area.
A lot of the (more experienced?) BG players are Jazz fans and I'm sure like me, they would appreciate a place to share stories, questions, knowledge etc, with those on this side of a similar persuasion.
