Cool Stuff

The Made In New York Jazz Competition is stepping up its game online, making it easier and more exciting for jazz musicians to connect with fans and get noticed. The competition's website, madeinnyjazz.com, has some cool new features that are a big deal for anyone who loves jazz and wants to make a name for themselves.

It's been a long road to finale and we are happy to announce the participants that made it!

There are a lot of good points in this article but I think a lot of the blame goes partly to jazz musicians themselves when they make our music inscrutable for the average listener and the concert goer feels left out because what they're listening to is too complex for the sake of complexity and lacking in melody and lyricism.
