DR. MICHAEL WHITE AND THE ORIGINAL LIBERTY JAZZ BAND The Original Liberty Jazz Band was formed in 1981 by clarinetist Michael White as an effort to preserve and extend the authentic traditional New Orleans jazz style. Early incarnations of the band regularly included older legends such as bassist Chester Zardis (1900-1990), trombonist Louis Nelson (1902-1990), pianist Sadie Goodson (1901-2002), drummer John Robichaux (1915-2005), and banjoists Danny Barker (1909-1994) and Emmanuel Sayles (1902-1986). After the passing of the older members several younger musicians - including several descendants of early generation jazz families - filled in the ranks. The Original Liberty Jazz Band has often been cited as being the best, most authentic, and most exciting traditional jazz band in New Orleans today. White and other members of the group are among today’s elder statesmen of traditional New Orleans jazz. The Original Liberty Jazz Band has toured and performed all over the world at festivals, universities, and concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Hollywood Bowl, Wolftrap, Kennedy Center, Apollo Theater, Playboy Jazz Festival, DC Jazz Festival, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Chicago Jazz Festival, University of New Hampshire, New York University, Jazz Vitoria (Spain), Bourbon Street Jazz Festival (Brazil), North Sea Jazz Festival (Holland), Jazz a Juan (France), Montreaux Jazz Festival (Switzerland) , Pori Jazz Festival (Finland), Molde Jazz Festival (Norway), Nice Jazz Festival (France), Newport Jazz Festival (USA), Lowell Folk Festival, and the National Folk Festival (South Carolina). The band is also known for several long-term steady engagements, including its performing for the past nineteen years at Tulane University’s Commencement ceremony, and its week-long engagements at New York’s Village Vanguard (the oldest jazz club in America) for eighteen years. The Original Liberty Jazz Band is the only traditional New Orleans style jazz band to make regular appearances at the New Orleans jazz club Snug Harbor. The band is featured in the documentaries Liberty Street Blues and Maroon. Dr. Michael White and the Original Liberty Jazz Band has frequently been profiled on television, on radio, and in the press. The group has appeared on several acclaimed recordings under Dr. Michael White’s name. .

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.

2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021
2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021 Overview As one of the world’s most celebrated and iconic destinations for leisure visitors, global meetings and conventions, major cultural festivals and national sporting championships, New Orleans welcomes millions of travelers and countless corporations and organizations each year with revelry and joy. Our cultural authenticity, joie de vivre and the fact that we are organically built to host, result in an unequalled success and travel experience in New Orleans like nowhere else, with every trip and gathering producing a world class memory. New Orleans & Company and its hospitality partners flourish with great relationships with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) and Superintendent/Chief of Police Shaun Ferguson and his senior team. New Orleans & Company partners with and engages the top leadership of the NOPD on all elements, locations and activities of every gathering and convention so they may be available not only to meet and discuss all of a group’s priorities and requirements, but to ensure coverage around convention venues and all areas where specific events are occurring. NOPD creates a deployment plan designed specifically for the needs of that group. As the world successfully emerges from the pandemic, the safety and wellbeing of our visitors and residents is our number one priority in New Orleans. This fall, New Orleans will host many major conventions and meetings, huge cultural events including French Quarter Festival, Voodoo Festival and the world-famous New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, just to name a few, so we ask visitors to use the same personal safety precautions, and to stay vigilant, as they would at home and in any metropolitan destination.

Jaana Repo SUSTAINABLE CUSTOMER RELATIONS WITH MERCHANT CUSTOMERS FOR PORI JAZZ 66 RY Degree Program in International Business Services 2013 1 SUSTAINABLE CUSTOMER RELATIONS WITH MERCHANT CUSTOMERS FOR PORI JAZZ 66 RY Repo, Jaana Satakunnan University of Applied Sciences Degree Program in Innovative Business Services April 2013 Ohjaaja: Salahub, Jeffrey Number of pages: 39 Appendices: 0 Keywords: Pori Jazz 66 ry, GAP-analysis, SERVQUAL survey for merchant customers ____________________________________________________________________ The purpose of this thesis is to improve customer relations between Pori Jazz 66 ry and their merchant customers. 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.
