Sync Up: The Jazz & Heritage Music and Media Market

I’m excited to be sitting on a panel at the Sync Up conference that is being presented by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation.

Friday, May 2–10 a.m.
Sponsored by AudioSocketand CD Baby
“After MP3s: The Rest of the Biz Goes Digital. Booking, Touring & Licensing Through New Technologies”

• Brent McCrossen, President, AudioSocket (Seattle, WA)

• Elliot Adams, Chief Technology Officer, CD Baby (Portland, OR)

• Jon Kertzer, Zune (Seattle, WA)

• Andy Gadiel, Jambase (San Francisco, CA)

• Chris Schultz, Voodoo Ventures (New Orleans, LA)

We’ll be showcasing the Talent Exchange, the music discovery engine that we’ve built for the NOJTF. The Talent Exchange is a beta version right now that was built in a quick timeframe. But in the spirit of release early and release often, we will launch the beta version for Jazz Fest tomorrow, and I’m eager to get feedback from the other participants on the panel and the music supervisors and talent buyers who will be at the conference.

Thanks to Scott Aiges for the opportunity to participate in Sync Up. Look forward to seeing everyone at the conference and at the Fest!
