Get into the Groov...

Has anybody here ever seen the show "Later with Jools Holland"? It is a British show that comes on the BBC. It is very popular in Brittan. Anywho, the concept of the show is that the host, Jools, invites a different set of about 3 or 4 artists for each show. It is usually a mixture of famous and unknown artists from around the world. They are all assembled together on a stage in a semi-circle around and each artist gets a chance to perform, one at a time. I love this show. It is a constant on my TiVo. This morning I was making one of my daily visits to DigitalFuntown when it occurred to me how much Organic Groov has in common with "Later with Jools Holland". I get so much more out of my visits to DigitalFuntown than I do with most of the other music sites I was going to. Digging into a performance on Organic Groov is like checking out an Indie Jazz artist at a small, intimate show at a cafe, but with more. The separation between artist and audience disappears and everyone rides the Organic Groov together. It is a true, valid experience. And, like watching a cool set on the tube with Jools, as a viewer you can create whatever backdrop you want for the show. Get it together with a couple of friends, check it out with your girl or just kick back by yourself, a bottle of wine and get into the Groov. I have friends that have argued that they have to see an artist live to really appreciate them. I'm always telling them to go to DigitalFuntown and check out Organic Groov. I have a group of friends that come over to my place to watch “Later with Jools Holland” and after the show wraps up I switch on some Organic Groov performances. They were instant converts. It is true, nothing can ever replace a live show, but what DigitalFuntown has going on with Organic Groov is something that is completely new. It’s why it is called Organic Groov. You just can't judge it by standards that are already set up. It needs a whole new set of parameters. You have to see this before you can rule on it. It really is an experience unto itself. You get the sound and visual clarity of the best produced music videos and shows. Organic Groov comes to you in mind-blowin' High Definition. You get the fresh, raw intimacy of a live performance in front of live audiences from the most happenin' Smooth Jazz nightclub in Chicago. And after the set, with the artist interview, it's like the performer just finished a set and sticks around for a Q & A with the fans. Plus, you get to set your own environment with a setting that is completely up to you. And, to top it all off, it's free! Combining these aspects make for a new, unique experience that I like to plug into as often as possible. It's the evolution of music. Long live Organic Groov! Long live Digital Funtown!  Read Comments..

The Evolution of Musicians in the Digital Age

Art of any kind can be a tough sell, especially when everyone is pinching pennies just a little. Despite this predicament, however, great indie music has never had a hard time flourishing. There is always a market for music, and maybe even more so when times are rough. Hard times bring out creativity in artists, and passion in listeners in a way that simpler eras just can’t inspire. Possibly no genre of music is affected more by a rough economy than Indie Jazz. There is no greater salve for the troubles soul than a soulful, warm jazz groove. Studies have shown that in times of national stress, popular music tastes invariably trend toward the subtle complexity of genres like Neo Soul, Jazz, and artful funk. During times like these, creativity, and the ability to inspire are the most sought after talents in entertainment. So Indie Jazz and Neo Soul artists, who will always have it hard, at least get a little break during times like these. Not only do people want desperately to hear their music, but marketing has never been an easier prospect. In this incredibly connected world of YouTube, video blogs, and video media websites are all over the web. Sites like DigitalFunTown.com serve as a perfect link between artists who want to promote themselves in local areas like Chicago, and listeners all over the country who want a chance to sample new music. Online video sites also serve the unique purpose of bringing people to music that would ordinarily never have a chance to encounter it. A web savvy surfer can watch a small show in Denver that was filmed in DC. Artists can expand their fan base far beyond their comfortable tour locations. Everyone wins in the arrangement, and music has a chance to grow because of it. Perhaps that’s why it’s no surprise then, that more and more genres of music are fusing together to form new styles. Neo Soul and Indie Jazz are forged together out of classical Jazz popular in the 40’s and 50’s, mixed with infusions of easy listening, pop, and R&B. There could be no healthier progression of music than this hybrid of styles melting together, and there is probably no better place for it than the internet. There are no nationalities online, and no borders. Artists in the US can collaborate freely with those in the UK, or in Asia. The internet is a melting pot like one never before experienced. In places like Chicago, there is a huge diversity of people, and the artists there are an equally diverse group of entertainers. However, with the advent of the internet, and social networking sites like Myspace and Digitalfuntown, artists can take their music anywhere in the world, and fans can tune in from just as broad a region. Online, ideas and styles can mix, and change to ultimately form the next evolution of modern music.  Read Comments..
