{"title":"The Jazz Social: Jazz performance during COVID","authors":"Leigh Carriage, Toby Wren","doi":"10.1558/PRBT.19344","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1558/PRBT.19344","url":null,"abstract":"The Jazz Social was an online virtual jazz club which started during the first shutdowns for COVID in Australia from April to July 2020, now archived as ten videos on The Jazz Social YouTube channel. It was designed as an opportunity for musicians to perform and make up lost income when gigs disappeared overnight. The venture was arguably successful for a virtual jazz club: it employed 47 musicians, paying on average $116AUD for each performance; and each gig reached an average of 340 people, a considerably larger audience than a typical face-to-face jazz performance would attract. The Jazz Social gigs also brought together geographically diverse musicians and provided a platform for them to share music and discuss their experiences. With an understanding that Australia is entering a ‘new COVID normal environment’ which may have ongoing implications for face-to-face performance practice, this Riff article reflects on what The Jazz Social has revealed about the nature of jazz performance, collaboration, community, virtuality, and the limitations and affordances of new technologies in producing knowledge through improvisation.","PeriodicalId":41217,"journal":{"name":"Perfect Beat","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46656828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a music that thrives on the Internet with its highly visual nature, K-pop has been well positioned to maintain lively audiences through diverse and innovative content amidst the lockdown environment. Indeed, high-profile group BTS flourished in the time of COVID-19, garnering the Guinness record for most viewers of a music concert live stream. At the heart of this success is an engagement with fans that continues to drive BTS’s, and K-pop’s, rise to mainstream visibility, revealing a participatory nature that remains its strength. This essay reflects on K-pop fandom at the intersection of social media activity intensified in the COVID-19 era, focus\u0002ing on the case of BTS and the group’s success in building community online.","PeriodicalId":41217,"journal":{"name":"Perfect Beat","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43264334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anacin","doi":"10.1558/prbt.19260","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1558/prbt.19260","url":null,"abstract":"The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entertainment industry globally, yet little is known about the experiences of migrant musicians during this crisis. Drawing from interviews with Filipino musicians in Australia, this article considers the pandemic’s impacts on this migrant group and the ways in which they demonstrate resilience through their social and cultural capital. Their physical and virtual networks as well as skills in music and other ventures allow them to respond to the precarity connected with their translocal experiences as migrant musicians and skilled labour migrants during the pandemic. Nonetheless, this resilience is dependent on individuals’ particular economic, social and personal circumstances. Recognizing the case of Filipino musicians in Australia leads to a rethinking of potential policy implications on particular struggles facing migrant musicians in Australia during the pandemic crisis.","PeriodicalId":41217,"journal":{"name":"Perfect Beat","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49616849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
