MusicTank think jazz
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 17 November 2009
The next MusicTank Think Tank session will be a jazzy affair, looking, as it will, at the state of the UK jazz scene, and at the role of the BBC and other publicly funded bodies in supporting the genre.
The event will coincide with the publication of two new reports from support network Jazz Services. I think the basic gist of at least one of those reports will be that the BBC fails to properly represent the jazz genre despite the fact jazz music is actually doing very well commercially, showing a continued passion for the genre among a substantial number British music fans.
Jazz Services’ Chris Hodgkins will lead the debate, alongside journalist and lecturer Professor Stuart Nicholson and the University Of Westminister’s Mykaell Riley. Other speakers are tbc. The debate will take place on 19 Jan in London. More info at www.musictank.co.uk
