Jazz Goa is formed by a group of musicians and music lovers to
promote jazz in and out of Goa. The club's principal aim is to improve the lot and
provide an organised platform for local as well as visiting international jazz
musicians. Goa has always been a favoured chillout destination for some of the
world's greatest jazz musicians. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful laidback
lifestyle and the people's genuine warmth and hospitality has made Goa an
inspirational paradise for creative artistes from all over the world. Jazz Goa
will play host to visiting jazz musicians offering them opportunities to
perform in informal jam sessions as well as full fledged concerts and gigs at
various venues in Goa that feature live jazz.
Jazz currently has a niche audience in Goa and one of Jazz
Goa's goals is to broaden the listener base by encouraging general music lovers
to experience and enjoy the magic of spontaneously improvised music through workshops
and interactive sessions with performers. Spontaneous improvisation are the
keywords to jazz and very often jazz musicians create some of the most
memorable music in live performance as opposed to recordings produced in
clinical studio sessions. Future plans of Jazz Goa includes releasing live
recordings of selected performances in Goa, sourcing corporate sponsorship to
launch deserving local jazz musicians at an international level and
scholarships to finance talented youngsters who would like to study jazz at
some of the world's best institutes for jazz. Most importantly, with current
trends of canned music being peddled as live music, Jazz Goa hopes to keep live
music alive in Goa!
