Muusikot, opettajat ja tutkijat pohtivat avoimessa paneelikeskustelussa jazzsukupolvien vuorovaikutusta. Aikaisemmin jazzia opittiin mestari-kisälli-asetelman kautta: vanhemmat muusikot ohjasivat nuoria.

Arvokkaaksi koettu perinne on nyttemmin hiipunut. Englanninkielisessä paneelissa "Keeping That Discourse Alive" pohditaan syitä muutokselle ja haetaan ratkaisuja perinteen elvyttämiselle.

Mukana ovat muusikot Ari Poutiainen (pj.), Wade Mikkola ja Risto Toppola sekä säveltäjä Otto Donner. Kansainvälistä näkökulmaa edustavat tutkijat Bruce Johnson Australiasta ja Olav Harsløf Tanskasta.

Pe 20.8. Klo 14-15, Kansallisarkiston luentosali, Rauhankatu 17, Helsinki

Tilaisuus on osa Suomen Jazz & Pop Arkiston järjestämää pohjoismaista jazzkonferenssia.
