What does the professional field of jazz look like? In terms of artists, archives, festivals, award and incentives: the kind of HR machine? What are needs, processes, an ideal ecosystem to maximise productivity and connectivity? What pragmatic conversations are we not having? We weigh in on your favourite genre and its prospects as we usher in a new year. Our guest on The Blueprint Chantal Willie Peterson, the first female president of the SAJE (The South African Association of Jazz Education) is a double bassist, vocalist, composer, educator, scholar and activist for women's empowerment in music and curates masterclasses and clinics nationally and abroad. She is currently a lecturer and PhD candidate at WITS University with a focus on coloured identity, African feminism and historic sound.
