The Future of Jazz
Five years ago it was commonplace for a successful instrumental jazz album to sell over 40,000 copies. Not many in comparison with pop's million sellers, but enough to be commercially viable.
Now it is becoming unusual for even a successful instrumental jazz album to sell more than 3,000 copies.
Record labels increasingly eye with envy the sales of the pop-influenced jazz vocalists.
One Norah Jones album sells more than 300 successful instrumental jazz albums!
What does this mean for the future of instrumental jazz?
