Jazz Goa
by: Jazz Goa
Jazz Goa is formed by a group of musicians and music lovers to promote
jazz in and out of Goa. The club's principal aim is to improve the
lot and provide an organised platform for local as well as visiting
international jazz musicians. Goa has always been a favoured chillout
destination for some of the world's greatest jazz musicians. Beautiful
surroundings, peaceful laidback lifestyle and the people's genuine
warmth and hospitality has made Goa an inspirational paradise for
creative artistes from all over the world. Jazz Goa will play host
to visiting jazz musicians offering them opportunities to perform
in informal jam sessions as well as full fledged concerts and professional
gigs at various venues in Goa that feature live jazz.
Jazz currently has a niche audience in Goa and one of Jazz Goa's
goals is to broaden the listener base by encouraging general music
lovers to experience and enjoy the magic of spontaneously improvised
music through workshops and interactive sessions with performers.
Spontaneous improvisation are the keywords to jazz and very often
jazz musicians create some of the most memorable music in live performance
as opposed to recordings produced in clinical studio sessions. Future
plans of Jazz Goa includes releasing live recordings of selected
performances in Goa, sourcing corporate sponsorship to launch deserving
local jazz musicians at an international level and scholorships to
finance talented youngsters who would like to study jazz at some
of the worlds best institutes. Most importantly, with current trends
of canned music being peddled as live music, Jazz Goa hopes to keep
live music alive in Goa! for more information about Jazz Goa please
