Visibility: Academisation of Jazz

Episode 24 of B:jazz features vocalist, composer and teacher
Cansu Tanrıkulu. We discuss the academisation of jazz in the
context of visibility, the theme for Jazzwoche Berlin this year.
How are both historic and contemporary figures included in
teaching a new and often younger generation of future
professional jazz and improvising musicians, what are the
positives and negatives of the music moving into the academic
space? We also discuss how important role models are to students,
balancing what is required for a course of study with what is
most tailored for individual development, and how educators can
make their students feel seen, heard and visible.
