Jazz for the iPod Generation: Music Distribution, Festivals, and Digital Technology
The central aim of this thesis is to address the research question: In what ways are digital media affecting the dissemination of jazz in Britain? Within this are four sub-questions:
1. Has the changing position of jazz in British culture since 1980 affected its audience?
2. Has digital media had the same impact on the dissemination of jazz as it has on mainstream popular music?
3. How is digital technology affecting jazz scenes in the UK?
4. Is there an ‘online community’ of jazz enthusiasts in Britain?
