About Evan Haga

Evan_haga_profile_thumb

Evan Haga was made JazzTimes’ managing editor in November 2006, after signing on as an associate editor in May of that year. Under his direction, JazzTimes has won the Jazz Journalists Association’s Award for Best Periodical five times. His tasks at the magazine include everything from assigning and editing pieces to photo editing and assisting with design concepts. He also enjoys writing when his editorial gig allows: In addition to clips for JazzTimes, his reviews and profiles have appeared in HARP, Living Blues, The Baltimore Sun and on the Web site of National Public Radio.

Haga, a graduate of the University of Maryland, lives just outside of Washington, D.C. “There are many things about this job I love, but, yeah, the free CDs are my favorite perk,” he says. “Even if they keep my office and home in constant states of disarray.”
