Jazz Connective (2018 - 2020) is a collaborative project between different European actors to strengthen jazz artistic scenes. Composed of promoters and producers, musicians and professionals, the project will explore and address issues such as lack of promotion, difficulties in career progression, relationships to institutions and audience interactions.
Based on transnational mobility, the Jazz Connective project aims at generating a common reflection on these changes as well as promoting a culture that is both more inclusive and influential of innovative economic models.
Jazz Connective will host events including:
- Festivals and Concerts
- Workshop
- Lectures
- Discussions
Irish partner, Improvised Music Company, hosted the Jazz Connective Festival in Dublin, 11th - 12th December, 2019.
'By the end of Jazz Connective, Irish jazz musicians will have performed in 5 of the partner cities, and collaborated with musicians from Slovenia, Finland, France and the UK amongst others. Members of the Irish jazz industry will have participated in panel discussions in 6 European countries, gaining insight which will be valuable to the Irish scene going forward. During the Dublin event, discussions including our European partners gave a variety of insights, and this has kick-started a series of discussions and actions amongst the members of the Irish jazz scene, with a view to future development.'Across Borders Across the Board Vol 3 2017–2019
