European jazz talent is increasingly reaching a young audience weary of genre definitions and strict programming. Parallel to that, mixing and matching genres has become a strategy for a growing number of pop, rock, and electronic festivals to widen their line-up. In this panel, we figure out how collaboration between promoters from different scenes and mixed programming can be winning options for jazz- and pop festivals alike. If today’s jazz scene is freely exchanging creative thoughts, inspiration, and musical artistry with hiphop, soul, rock, pop, global sounds, and electronic music, why can’t promoters follow suit?
