Join a case discussion about the business of jazz in America. Excerpts from the “Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center” multimedia case will be shown during the session, featuring video interviews with Marsalis, senior executives at JALC, and audience members. The case covers the history of jazz music, the evolution of the music industry, and changing tastes of consumers. How can the declining interest in, and sales of, jazz music be reversed? What is the role of Wynton Marsalis and of Jazz at Lincoln Center in this context? And what are the lessons for arts and cultural institutions worldwide and for cultural entrepreneurs? Note: The Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center case discussion will be based on a video case shown live in the classroom; no pre-reading or viewing is required.
