We are Jazz
Here is what Jazz Masters are saying about #Madeinnyjazz
We offer 5 different categories to enter, so every musician is likely to find something to their taste. The judges will make the final selection of the winner, from a group of candidates selected by a combination of the committee and popular votes.
Philip Harper
"It's a great situation, it's good for all of us! It gives us a chance to meet, greet people from all over the world and still have one common denominator between us which is a good feeling of music! It shows that jazz is a world music. I think it should be supported. It's a beautiful concept!"
Rufus Reid
"It's very interesting to me and the first time for me to have so many people from different parts of the world. It's great! I think it's a good idea. It's quite an undertaken, I applaud you guys for putting this on!"
Bobby Sanabria
"It's one of the great events in the jazz world today! It's fantastic! I get to hear a lot of original new music, so the music is in a good place right now"
Tommy Campbell
"It takes a concert and talents like this to push me to be better. I wish I could do this kind of things more. This project is so inspiring, it makes me think of what's really important what we are really trying to do artistically"
Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time.
