Jeffro Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 (edited) I wasn't sure where exactly to post this, but since it involves live performances, I though this forum would be okay. Anyone have any comments about IAJE and their annual confeence? It sounds very intriguing and worthwhile.

cannonball-addict Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Now its 2006 and I am reviving this thread for personal reasons. I am planning on driving from DC to NY on Wednesday morning for the IAJE conference. Since I have to drive back to Pittsburgh on Sunday to start school again I cannot offer a ride back though. Does anyone wanna hitch a ride with me, esp. if you are going to IAJE or just a quick free ride to NY? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) I was hoping to go this year, but work got in the way I recommend the panel on Friday 1/13 at noon hosted by LLoyd Pinchback, Larry Appelbaum and Sam Perryman of the Library of Congress. It's entitled: 'Jazz Resources at the Library of Congress: Collecting Is Our Business'. It's in the Central Park Room of the Sheraton Hotel. Bertrand.

BeBop Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Anyone attending the 2007 festivities? I hope to be back in NYC by the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I'm sure the experience will be wonderful, but I feel the end result is the death of jazz ( nah, that happened a few years ago). Make contacts, network, all that other shit. Go for it. Not sure why I'm posting this since I think the music is dead (or dormant - an important word). Conventions are fun and degrading at the same time. Enjoy what you got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) I wouldn't disagree, particularly on the education side of things. I'd use the term 'moribund' to describe the art as it rests in the hands of the Lincoln Center clan. Fortunately, as I recall, not everything on the concert docket this year is entirely retrogressive...though I don't have the listing in front of me. Perhaps I'm just optimistic.

DukeCity Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Conventions are fun and degrading at the same time. Well put. I plan on trying to have enough "fun" that I won't notice the degrading parts too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny E Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I'm sure the experience will be wonderful, but I feel the end result is the death of jazz ( nah, that happened a few years ago). Make contacts, network, all that other shit. Go for it. Not sure why I'm posting this since I think the music is dead (or dormant - an important word). Conventions are fun and degrading at the same time. Enjoy what you got. Furthermore, when i was a kid I used to walk ten miles to get to school, each way, in my bare feet, with snow drifts up to my waste...AND I LIKED IT! Go make your contacts, network and all that crap...speaking of which. Where's my Metamusel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregN Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Conventions are fun and degrading at the same time. Enjoy what you got. Especially Shriner conventions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
