Open Forum Jazz! Open Forum For the Jazz understand a collection of people - Musicians, Promoters,
Critics, Authorities and other interested persons and wishing
to devote their time and energy to improve the situation of jazz and jazz
environment in Poland.
The Forum's objective should be to develop not so much demands as the plan and development directions
jazz scene in Poland, so that the Ministry of Culture
not submit proposals in the form of wishes-
intencjonalno-
vision, but rather We this and this, we plan to achieve
so and so, we need such and such assistance from the Ministry
here, here and here.
Before turning to the "themes", I would like to mention a few
present at the convention, I hope that soon present at the forum,
not only on a group mailing, but also face to face meetings.
think about:
- vanguard environments Nicholas shake, Raphaël Rogiński, Paul
Szamburskim, Maciu Moretti, Wenceslaus Zimplu etc
- representatives of publishing labels, both large as
Universal (Peter Rzeczycki) and smaller, and the builders,
at least in some circles, a Polish brand of jazz - Marek Winiarski
- Not Two, Lawrence Mąkinia, Thomas Convent - Multikulti.
correct me if I'm wrong, but at least this way the first group
not been crossed with jazz associations, and
should, if it is to be representative of the environment.
explores things to do:
first What is needed is an association of jazz musicians (Zbigniew Namysłowski)
1a). Who represents jazz community in Poland? (Wojtek Konikiewicz)
- whether to save the bulk of the Polish Association
Jazz on the ground and try to change the world, or should
establish a new entity - to start from scratch, without the burden, but also
without anything?
I mention this point as the first, because the contractor all other
should be a de facto association of people of jazz. PSJ or
others.
second What is needed is to create a website (and others),
multilingual knowledge base, and jazz musicians in Poland.
Each member of the association would be devoted to the sub, with
discography, list of achievements, closest to the concerts, and ultimately
the digitized works (music store). (Andrew Kalinowski
)
- it's pretty clear, you only need money and the tender for the execution of
site, preparation of environmental surveys, and the people involved
to update the page.
third Association should be source of legal assistance for musicians and promoters
(A. Kalinowski)
and a place where you can get information and assistance in obtaining grants
with all kinds of Polish funds, EU, Norway, etc.
.
- it is probably also quite clear. just where to get the money for the employment of these specialists
.
4th It is necessary to opening of the Polish jazz scene in the context of the European
(participation in the tags, festivals, workshops, collaboration with the Association
counterparts in other countries. (A. Kalinowski)
- how to do it?
- that should do the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, if so, whether
it does and if not enough, why?
5th Introduction to the European arena Polish record company,
promoting Polish artists and their collaboration with other artists (A.
Kalinowski)
eg like the Portuguese Clean Feed
- how to achieve it?
- where to get the money?
- whether, for example by subsidizing the existing (still private and
commercial) publishers and Not Two or Multikulti or otherwise.
6th Renewal and restoration of the prestige brands Jazz Jamboree
(Paul Kwiatkowski)
- if your name is no longer locked in the safe, then what are the obstacles?
- where to get the money?
(as I understand, eg, by requesting the funding of the ministries and the office of the city
next year, because in this case is already lost)
7th Education (Mark soul Wlodek Pawlik and many others)
- whether you need a report on the state of jazz education in Poland?
- whether you need a new department of jazz? how and where?
- what is wrong and how to change it?
(a gigantic topic, perhaps the greatest of all and nothing about him I do not know)
8th You need a jazz club in Warsaw (Marita Alban Juarez)
- what Tygmont? Is it possible to revive this place?
- whether it is possible to rise to jazz club under the terms of the free market?
- whether it is possible to rise to a jazz club, whose patron is the city?
eventually could be built "network" of such clubs, associations, in which
for example, the principle could be playing for the tickets, bar closing time
concert, concerts, a Family 14tej (Marita)
9th Care for musicians. Welfare.
- insurance
musicians - what to do to Day of the Jackal was the only addition for the association of
najkonkretniejszą jazz rather than an opportunity to help
musician in need?
- what to do to deserving artists and getting support not only honors posthumously
?
10th The presence of jazz in the media (Matthew Karłowski)
- that meets the Jazz Forum their tasks?
- whether it is possible to any expansion of jazz into other than the PR points
II or radioJazz.fm?
- how to promote jazz?
11th Archiving, digitization (Krzysztof Sadowski)
12th Environmental Co-operation with the Institute of Jazz Music and Dance (Peter Wells)
not only in the report and conclusions from the Ministry but also for the wider
looking to the future.
- will look like the institute of music, whether it will allocate grants for projects like
Polish Film Institute and pursue other forms of financial support
music?
- at what level decisions will be taken, or will such
jazz department with its budget?
13th Forms of financing
In most of these points matter breaks down over money.
course you can set up in the queue for from the Ministry and it will have so
do anyway, but this may not be the sole source of funding
activities of the association. I do not know what kept PSJ, but
should develop a funding strategy although part of the cost of work described
institutions.
14th Another meeting.
I think we should meet again, in the widest circle,
in May, before the holidays, so as not to lose the half year to October.
symbolic meeting place could be Tygmont,
alternative Prague House of Culture - not enough that they have very good cycle
Prague is the Jazz, it's still located 300 meters from my house
.
I would like a meeting, in addition to as many
jazz community representatives from every conceivable part, appeared
is also one of the Open Forum Environments of Dance, which
over the road, which before us, or part of the way than for us,
because it is they who have decided, and went creation of the Ministry of
Institute of Music and Dance.
So we have as many as 14 topics for discussion, and probably walk further. Plus, of course
issues related to the Open Forum of Jazz and all
what I wrote above and what nie napisałem.
Jeśli coś przekręciłem, o czymś zapomniałem, bardzo proszę o dopisanie.
Wydaje mi się, że dla przejrzystości, mam nadzieję burzliwej i owocnej
dyskusji, proponuję następującą strategię:
Jeśli ktoś chciałby zabrać głos w wybranym temacie niech w temat
wiadomości wpisze np.
1. Kto reprezentuje środowisko jazzowe w Polsce?
Wiadomość o takim temacie wysyła na adres grupy czyli
otwarte-forum-jazzu@googlegroups.com
Wiadomość ta trafi do wszystkich from our list.
More voices in this topic may be the answer to the other message.
In case you somehow try to keep udrażniać flow of information.
