Jazz And The Beeb: A Love Supreme Or Kind Of Blue?http://www.musictank.co.uk/events/jazz-and-the-beeb-a-love-supreme-of-kind-of-blue
This event sees the launch and discussion of two key papers to be published on the day of this event, each of which will be issued free of charge to all event attendees.
Beginning with The Economic Value of Jazz – pt II, co-author Mykaell Riley will reveal the changing face of jazz in Britain, taking into account, record sales, funding and other economic indicators.
With the scene set, the main trust of this think tank panel discussion will consider the role of the BBC in supporting and developing jazz. At its heart is the evening’s second publication – a Jazz Service's paper – The BBC: Public Sector Broadcasting, Jazz, Policy and Structure in The Digital Age - which looks at whether the BBC is doing all that it could and many argue should, to support jazz and other niche genre.
