Fest Jazz 2018 – Introducing Trevor Stent’s Young and Inspirational Organising Team
Fest Jazz is unusual among jazz festivals because youngsters play a major part in the organisation of the event as well as helping as volunteers. Festival Organiser, Trevor Stent, asked two of this year’s young team, Margot and Mélanie (both 23), about their work:
Jazz at The Bedford with Special Guest Pete Allen …
Three Ways “SWAY” …
“When Marimba Rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more.”
Facebook Can Become So Frustrating
…as can other Social Media outlets!
Take jazz for instance. Whatever is posted, whatever is featured, it’s here today and gone tomorrow as it sinks rapidly lower down the list of billions of entries.
JAZZ&JAZZ … Rebooting the Strategy!
Jazz&Jazz Features can have a far greater impact than
fleeting Social Media posts!
As Jazz&Jazz continues to grow I am reluctant to spend ever more hours reviewing and promoting events that Social Media already enables clubs, bands and musicians to promote for themselves. For instance, many already use my Facebook Jazzers Group for this purpose. In the UK there is also the monthly Just Jazz Magazine, The Jazz Guide and the Jazz Guide Website, not to mention other websites that carry comprehensive
lists of events.
