The Playing Field: Panel on Jazz Careers in New York

In this virtual panel, four musicians shared their opinions on and experiences of working in New York City, the Center for Jazz Studies' home base. JSO asked why the panelists chose to work here, how they got established, how the audiences they perform for may have changed, and what their favorite venues in the city are and why. The panelists are Dave Liebman, Bobby Sanabria, Dado Moroni, and Dave Gibson.
