Tiers

Five bands of commitment, from rooms that exist for this music to rooms where it turns up by accident. A tier is a summary of the seven signals, never a judgement of the music played there.

Cornerstone 85–10061 venues · Exists to present this music. A pilgrimage venue.Committed 65–84118 venues · A real, regular home for the music; strong dedicated programming.Supportive 45–6475 venues · Books it meaningfully, but as part of a broader program.Occasional 25–448 venues · The music appears here now and then; not a scene anchor.Incidental 0–241 venues · Mostly other music; free/avant is rare or accidental.
