Digital Magazine: Jazz Artistry Now._____ABOUT ©YOUTH JAZZWe conduct rigorous auditions for Fellowships in February and announce the selections in March each year.The season culminates in recording an album in a professional recording studio that’s released worldwide on a professional record label.Jazz, the music itself, has proven to be both progressive as an art form and resilient as an economic engine for over a century. It’s so much bigger than our individual persons.As also its educators and entrepreneurs, we artists are also essentially responsible for maintaining its economic viability.In addition to passing along the art as musical craftsmanship, the successful artists must perpetuate the art form by teaching music business industry infrastructure skills that are vital for sustainability from era to era to the next generations in the jazz continuum.All phases, stages and places in a jazz artist career are necessary to the art.—Christopher Burnett (BMI) and Terri Anderson Burnett, Founders
