  • You're Invited to Play Your Part!
    ONLINE JAZZ PARTY & FUNDRAISER SPONSOR PACKAGES You’re Invited to Play your Part! The Nashville Jazz Workshop (NJW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching people’s lives through jazz education and performance. For 20 years the NJW has delivered world class performances and music education to Nashville audiences and jazz fans around the country and the world. 2020 has been a challenging year for cultural institutions everywhere as they seek to fulfill their missions and remain financially viable. Fortunately, the internet has enabled the NJW to continue serving audiences and students – over 20,000 people have subscribed to the NJW’s YouTube channel to view live and archived performances and hundreds have enrolled in virtual classes since social distancing restrictions began in March. Jazzmania is the NJW’s annual jazz party and fundraiser. As a live event it has been “the jazz party of the year” and one of the city’s most engaging and fun charity events. As with other charity events, the event is moving online this year as a virtual event. On October 24, 2020 the Workshop will host Jazzmania as an online jazz party and evening of world class jazz performances. We will share our love of jazz, celebrate the Workshop’s 20th anniversary and ask our devoted fans to open their hearts and wallets to support the Workshop. The streaming event will also be targeted to a global audience, to build awareness of the NJW and engagement with jazz fans around the world. Proceeds from the event will support the NJW’s Music Education, Performance Series and Community Outreach.

  • Saturday, January 26, 2019
    Saturday, January 26, 2019 Saturday, January 26, 2019 Dear students and educators, Greetings and welcome to the 51st annual Berklee High School Jazz Festival. We are so pleased that you are here with us to experience a wonderful day highlighting jazz education and music-making by talented artists. Our participants embody the very best of high school instrumental and vocal jazz in large and small ensemble combinations, as well as solo vocalists in our specialized Jazz Singer Showcase category. We are very proud that our event is the largest of its kind in the United States, featuring thousands of student performers representing public and private high schools from across the country. It also represents hundreds of music educators at the top of their craft who empower and influence students with their teaching every single day. None of the students would be here without their teachers and we honor, appreciate, and acknowledge this fact. One of our goals with the festival is to provide enriching opportunities for young artists to experience jazz from multiple angles (i.e., performing, attending clinics and exhibits, and hearing performances by other musicians). In addition, we recognize the power of bringing music teachers together to showcase the talents and efforts of their students, expand their professional networks, and inspire each other. Accordingly, throughout the day, we have scheduled time for all of these activities, and we encourage you to explore and take advantage of the festival’s many facets. This year, we are pleased to announce that Thomas “TL” Lizotte, band director for Cape Elizabeth High School in Maine, will receive the John LaPorta Jazz Educator of the Year Award.

  • WRESTLING with OR EMBRACING DIGITIZATION in the MUSIC INDUSTRY the Contrasting Business Strategies of J-Pop and K-Pop
    Parc & Kawashima / Wrestling with or Embracing Digitization 23 WRESTLING WITH OR EMBRACING DIGITIZATION IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY The Contrasting Business Strategies of J-pop and K-pop Jimmyn Parc Seoul National University and Sciences Po Paris [email protected] Nobuko Kawashima Doshisha University [email protected] Abstract Digitization has significantly changed the process for producing and consuming music: from analogue to digital, albums to songs, possess to access, audio to visual, and end products to promotional products. In this globalized digital era, actively embracing digitization would likely help enhance the competitiveness of the music industry. The rise of K-pop and the decline of J-pop clearly demonstrate the different results from whether to embrace or wrestle with digitization. The Korean music industry recognized changes brought on by digitization earlier and was more active in responding with effective strategies. By contrast, the Japanese music industry did not immediately respond to these changes but stuck to its rent-seeking behavior in order to take advantage of its larger market size and ‘sophisticated’ copyright regime. The implications from this paper is that business activities are the core element for creating and enhancing competitiveness of the music industries.
