What Ever Happen to Jazz

Image via Wikipedia What every happen to the art form known as Jazz? Jazz was an American art form that was heard all over the world. Harlem Renassiance was a great period in Black American history. Jazz in the early 1900's was what hip hop is today. Count Basie Duke Ellington and many others were among some of the greats Jazz musicians in the world.

How did Jazz die? I think with the emergence of other music forms Jazz begin its decline. The corporations never really took Jazz to other heights that it has taken other forms of music. Jazz started die in my opinion when social and economic conditions of black America change for the better and worst.

The Entertainment Strategy

Image via Wikipedia
I was sitting here thinking what is the perfect strategy to gain immediate attention the entertainment industry. If you are a Model, Actor, Musician, and Designer trying to build in the industry what is the perfect strategy. If I tell yea I might have to kill yea..Lol naw I'm just playing, that is a question that really can't be answered because its different folks for different strokes.

What I think is the most important thing is are you creating a plan to help you move from the unknown to the Known inside the entertainment industry. For example, how many relevant contacts do you have and does that allow you access inside certain circles that most may not have access to. Also, how well do you market and promote your name inside the industry are people noticing what you're trying to do. The real key here is to Market Promote and Sale your self and the product so that it begins to bring you closer to your goal. Write down everything you need to do to get busy reaching your goal then do it. Action is the key to manifesting your goals.
