| Introduction | I am a musician based in London who specializes in jazz and funk but also have influences from Motown, Soul, Hip Hop and Cuban. I have created this profile to share my experiences on my trip to America and to spread the good word of the WCMT. I am travelling to America to get a better understanding of how their jazz scene has provided the most prominent musicians to have ever lived, decade after decade. During my trip I will be looking at as many aspects of the scene as possible including; What encouragement young musicians get in schools and workshops and the performance opportunities they have; What opportunities young musicians have to develop their sound on the professional circuit; What are the leading musicians currently doing to expand their genre of music, what opportunities they have to do so and how this impacts their local culture; How the jazz scene has got to where it is and where it could/should be going. I will find this out by interviewing as many jazz musicians as possible and getting their opinions on where they think the scene can improve |
