Five Years at Rose Hall for Wynton Marsalis’s Jazz at Lincoln Center - WSJ.com [del.icio.us]
"Outside New York, the jazz-club circuit is shrinking. Increasingly, jazz is presented at arts centers and universities. Within the jazz industry, some are troubled by Mr. Marsalis's dominance in that arena. "What if all that funding was spread across the entire spectrum of jazz," asked Scott Southard, whose International Music Network specializes in jazz, "instead of concentrated in one spot?" Then again, some credit Mr. Marsalis with engendering such support. For Randall Kline, who heads the San Francisco-based SFJazz, "Jazz at Lincoln Center was important in establishing legitimacy. Before, there were no models for jazz in the institutional world."Originally posted by pbailey68 from paulbailey.us (beta), ReBlogged by newmusicrebloggers on Sep 29, 2009 at 05:10 PM
