I propose that jazz musicians come together, possibly through Jazz Alive's web site, to discuss ways we can get the Jazz arts to become more visible, viable and into the publics eyes and ears. We are a stepchild of the arts community and have no central source to promote our efforts in getting funding for creative groups or projects. Jazz Alive could become one vehicle to help achieve the goal of promoting local and regional interest in supporting the musicians who are a part of the jazz world. Because jazz means many different things to different people we need to bear in mind that it is not a static art but a living art. New ideas & methods need to be explored, developed and encouraged as well as playing and exploring the great repertoire that has preceded the present scene.
