2016 Sync Up Conference Friday, April 22, 2016 The George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center How To Launch A Career In Jazz So, you just graduated from Berklee, Juilliard, UNO or another fine jazz conservatory. Now what? How do you get your career off the ground? Do you apply for the Monk Competition? Do you hope that whoever plays your instrument in Wynton Marsalis' band gets a better gig (whatever that could be) and makes room for you? Do you hit the road like a punk rock band? All of the above? We talk to two rising young stars of the jazz world – who took very different paths to their current success - to get their perspectives on how best to approach launching a career as a jazz musician.
