Greg Hutchinson / French Electronic
Commonly, the idea of French electronic music starts with Jean-Michel Jarre’s pioneering work. Decades later we now enjoy an impressive panorama of French electronic music. For this particular JAZZ/TAKE, using the exact same instrumentation as on the groundbreaking Miles Davis album, “Kind Of Blue”, we will experience jazz sextet arrangements of themes by French electronic music artists Daft Punk, Air, Jean Michel-Jarre, Justice and David Guetta. NLD IJC regulars include trumpeter Anders Bergcrantz and alto saxophonist Fredrik Kronkvist, tenor saxophonist Gábor Bolla, Tobias Dall on bass and Thomas Clausen on piano - and guesting with us for the first time, the great American drummer Greg Hutchinson, whose reputation as one top jazz drummers in the world today makes his appearance eagerly anticipated.

KEYNOTE: AN INSANE SPEED OF EVOLUTION: A MACRO VIEW AT MUSIC INDUSTRY + TECH TRENDS
17. Sep 11:00 | Radisson Blu Room 3
There are seemingly endless possibilities for our industry's future: change is occurring simultaneously, accelerating quickly, and creating so much complexity that even the savviest music folks question whether we’re prepared for the revolution ahead. In this session, we’ll give a macro overview of the movement of our industry, covering off on topics from business prioritization of the bigs (majors + streaming), following the money around the globe, rights management and the acquisition frenzy, the continued rise of the independent service ecosystem, the future relationship between live and content, artist economic diversification as well as the race for new audiences. We’re not going to solve for everything that’s coming in one hour, but at least you’ll have a clean windshield to look through while you’re driving into it.
