jazzman123 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Ive set up a website containing a questionnaire and forum on the future of jazz music. Im looking to find peoples opinions on the future of jazz music for a presentation at my music college. The site address is http://www.freewebs.com/futureofjazzmusic/. Thanks To All, JAZZMAN123 Quote
B. Clugston Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Kind of like asking if rock has a future and listing Olivia Newton-John and Chris DeBurgh as modern day rock artists. Pointless. Sample qestion: 6) Which of these modern day jazz artists do you feel are the future sound of jazz? Jamie Cullum Michael Buble Liane Carroll The Bad Plus E.S.T Diana Krall Madeleine Peyroux Polar Bear James Taylor Stacey Kent Ian Shaw Clare Teal Dave Koz Jeff Kashiwa David Sanborn Peter White Bob James Jeff Lorber Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 I took the quiz, but it was difficult. Labeling it "Future of Jazz Music" doesn't hide the fact that the entire thing looks more to the past than the future. Quote
Elissa Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Are any of those people jazz artists? Ethan IVerson can play jazz but doesn't much with that band. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Free jazz isn't an option in this questionnaire? Even Ken Burns might've allowed for that! Quote
B. Clugston Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Free jazz isn't an option in this questionnaire? Even Ken Burns might've allowed for that! Neo-con jazz isn't either judging by the absence of the Marsallis crowd. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Free jazz isn't an option in this questionnaire? Even Ken Burns might've allowed for that! Neo-con jazz isn't either judging by the absence of the Marsallis crowd. to you both. MG Quote
RDK Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Free jazz isn't an option in this questionnaire? Even Ken Burns might've allowed for that! "Free Jazz?" I'll take almost any jazz over those miserable choices. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Free jazz isn't an option in this questionnaire? Even Ken Burns might've allowed for that! Nope. Not even a possibility, according to PLEASE READ... Quote
Uncle Skid Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 "presentation at my music college"?? How about a presentation on Anthony Braxton or Roscoe Mitchell? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 "presentation at my music college"?? How about a presentation on Anthony Braxton or Roscoe Mitchell? Allow me to answer for him: "who?" Quote
Spontooneous Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 My favorite part of the questionaire: 5) What direction(s) do you think jazz music needs to take to become more popular? a) It needs to fuse more with other genres (e.g. Rock, Pop, Latin) b) It needs to embrace modern technology (e.g. Electronic Jazz) c) It needs to be rebranded (e.g. New name) d) It needs to become more commercial Quote
Elissa Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 3) Do you think jazz music has a safe and viable future within the music industry over the next 25 years? (Select One) Yes No 50/50 Or: Do you think humankind has a safe and viable future on the planet over the next 25 years? Quote
Van Basten II Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 I have a problem with the question number 5. If i was interested in music that tries to be popular i wouldn't listen to jazz at the first place. I don't give a flying fart about how jazz could become more popular. My interest in music is music not music sales anf i certainly don't care whether people enjoy the music i'm listening. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 "presentation at my music college"?? How about a presentation on Anthony Braxton or Roscoe Mitchell? Allow me to answer for him: "who?" (we'll give him extra credit for looking up Cecil Taylor!) Quote
Joe G Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 3) Do you think jazz music has a safe and viable future within the music industry over the next 25 years? (Select One) Yes No 50/50 Or: Do you think humankind has a safe and viable future on the planet over the next 25 years? Heh. That goes one step beyond my thought, which was whether the music industry has a safe and viable future. As if its present state is "safe"! Quote
RDK Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 I think we should rename it "spoon" and start a new "Spoon is great!" ad campaign. Quote
Spontooneous Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 I think we should rename it "spoon" and start a new "Spoon is great!" ad campaign. Then within five years, the industry will be fusing it with spork music. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 I think we should rename it "spoon" and start a new "Spoon is great!" ad campaign. Then within five years, the industry will be fusing it with spork music. Can't wait for the spork-rock revival era! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 I think we should rename it "spoon" and start a new "Spoon is great!" ad campaign. But Spoon IS great! Those albums he made with Ben Webster, Groove Holmes, Teddy Edwards.... Call it Trampoline. MG Quote
AllenLowe Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 jazz is dead - god is dead - and I'm not feeling too well myself - Quote
