Larry Blumenfeld (Brooklyn,NY)
Larry Luttinger (Central New York Jazz Arts Foundation)

Long past its moment at the forefront of popular culture, jazz finds itself in a challenged space. The club circuit is fading, the music business in disrepair. What makes for a sustainable jazz scene? Blumenfeld considers this question in local and national terms, along with guest speaker, Larry Luttinger.

This dialogue is co-presented by the Setnor School of Music Soyars Lecture Series.
