The sheltered harbour conditions have made Lisbon a major port for two millennia, and as a result of the maritime exploits of the Age of Discoveries Lisbon became the centre of an imperial Portugal. Modern Lisbon is a diverse, exciting, creative city where the ancient and modern mix, and adventure hides around every corner. 2018 Venue: The Altice Arena Sitting like a beautiful UFO on the banks of the River Tagus, the Altice Arena has hosted events as diverse as technology forum Web Summit, the 2002 World Fencing Championships and Kylie Minogue’s Portuguese debut concert.

    The Pori Jazz Festival - New Opportunities for Music Archives

    The Pori Jazz Festival - New opportunities for music archives Miles Davis, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Erykah Badu, Chick Corea, James Brown and many other well-known artists, all performed at the international Pori Jazz Festival in Finland. The first Pori Jazz Festival was held in July 1966, and 1500 visitors attended the concerts which lasted one weekend. Audiences grew year by year, and at the moment the festival lasts nine days with audiences numbering from 100,000-120,000. The Pori Jazz Festival is one of the biggest jazz festivals in Europe and is known throughout the world. Many of the perfomances of the numerous world-famous jazz and pop musicians that came to the festival through the years have been recorded and rest in the archive of the festival. Something has to be done to preserve this collection, says Tiina Sailavuo, responsible for the collection, for these are unique recordings and there is a lot of interest from private persons as well as commercial parties. While public organisations might be forerunners at making their holdings accessible, private organisations like ours may also have hidden treasures, unique material that no one is aware of. Besides artistic value, this material could also represent an economic value. Digitisation is a must to make these collections accessible, but is just the starting point: what we need are products and value added services. We need to create our own markets, Tiina said. One of these markets could be letting people enjoy live performances or music from the archive through their mobile phone.

Client organization is Pori Jazz 66 ry, a non-profit association and one of the biggest jazz festivals in Europe. Main point is to suggest an improved survey that could be conducted by sales representatives of Pori Jazz for its merchant customers, which is based on the GAP-analysis and SERVQUAL. Meaning of the survey is to bring more attention to service quality in those services that Pori Jazz offers to their merchant customers. In addition, meaning of the cultural happenings is analyzed, in order to underline importance of such happenings like the festival of Pori Jazz. Providing an analysis of the process of customer acquisition for Pori Jazz 66 ry, role of customer trust during negotiations and assessing potential risks that could be involved in cooperation between festival organization and merchant customers, are also topics of the thesis. The theoretical section was collected by using various academic electronic journals, book by Zeithaml, Parasuraman and Berry; “Delivering quality service”, and applying theories such as customer segmentation and targeting. In addition to purely theoretical sources, my own experience in working at the Pori Jazz 66 ry and information acquired from close communication with merchant customers and management of the festival is used as an information source.

So with that introduction, we are pleased to announce that as of this issue, the gazette formerly known as AllAboutJazz-New York will now be called The New York City Jazz Record. It is a change that comes on the heels of our separation New York@Night last summer from the AllAboutJazz.com website.
