Talking Jazz II: Jazz Educators and Jazz Journalists: Friends or Foes?

 

 SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE TO WATCH THE  RECORDING OF THIS HANGOUT/WEBINAR 
 PanelStrip
Does the world of jazz scholarship respect and employ the work of jazz journalists, and do jazz journalists gain from relations with the academy? Are the worlds of jazz education and jazz information/dissemination parallel or do they intersect? What values and techniques do both media-makers and teachers hold dear, or need to acquire? Are there ways to build or strengthen bonds, or are these two sectors of the jazz ecology forever separate, equal or not?  Hear what our panel of experts has to say and post your own questions and comments for the panel at this open-to-all Google Hangout.

(This recording is in two parts because we got knocked “off air” half way through– and then again before the Hangout was over. Our apologies! But we think our panelists had lots of great stuff to say anyway so check it out!)
