45. "WHAT ARE THE JAZZIES LOOKING FOR??" In response to In response to 0
I have a copy of the album. To me its alright...nothing I'd put on my "essential for any music collection" list but I see that some people just love it.
What does that mean? Maybe they aren't & won't ever be a popular group, ie. the type of artists with songs that catch the ear of a wide spectrum of people. The implication seems to be that IF they had the proper marketing, the proper budget, the proper radio access, tons of exposure, that the world would love them. This theory doesn't consider the numerous acts that receive a bunch of marketing, tons of money, and radio access but still don't sell well, still don't catch the ear of the masses, never get the following of a JayZ, Faith Hill, or Alanis Morrisette.
What exactly are the Jazzies looking for...that would make them feel like successful accomplished recording artists?
Considering all the talk about doing music for the music, the focus of these Jazzies convos are pretty interesting.
