Getting In Sync
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation's 2010 Sync Up conference resumes today (schedule
) at the New Orleans Museum of Art (map), with a special film screening tonight and panel discussions Friday and Saturday mornings. Here are some Sync UpDates.
Film Screening Tonight
Don't miss our FREE screening of the great film "Icons Among Us: jazz in the present tense," tonight (April 29), 7 p.m., at the New Orleans Museum of Art. A searing documentary that captures some of the freshest and most exciting sounds of the rapidly evolving global jazz scene, the film has garnered rave reviews around the world. Tonight's screening includes a Q&A with the film's producers. Thursday, April 29, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the New Orleans Museum of Art.
Hot Topics
This weekend's highlights include a panel on Friday examining what it takes to score a major-label record deal, with Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews (pictured) as the case study. On Saturday, we'll look at how to use the Internet and social networking media to market and sell music - with reps from YouTube and Pearl Jam's online fan club.
Come On Down
We've still got way more registrants than we have seats, but we didn't have to turn anyone away last week for lack of space. So don't be afraid to come on down. Admission is free, but advance registration is requested. Register online here. We will accommodate walk-up registrations as space permits. Doors open at 9:15 a.m. (yes, we'll have coffee), and the conference starts promptly at 10 a.m. For a complete schedule
