  Nigel J. EiC @ JazzInEurope and producer at JazzTalk.News  – Nigel J. Interviews Wendy Kirkland his special guest in this episode and was looking forward to chatting with her and asking questions. Show notes: Wendy’s last album was released in 2017 entitled ‘Piano Divas’ which celebrates ‘singers pianists’ who’ve certainly earned their rightful place in Jazz history. The album was chosen as an album of the week on three well-known Jazz radio stations as well as being played on Clare Teals BBC radio 2 show. Wendy has received very positive reviews from prominent Jazz press in the UK and beyond. Wendy’s top class quartet then took to the road in 2018 performing at 30 venues. The success of this has lead to a 2019 tour which has just started. Wendy also has another album in the works and it's being crowdfunded. She didn’t give much away when asked, but just enough to get excited. Included are the links to Wendy's website address giving you a chance to sample her music and peruse the crowdfunding link as well.

Nigel J. EiC @ JazzInEurope and producer at JazzTalk.News  - Nigel J. Interviews Claudio Cappellari who is currently co-director of moods jazz association and founder of the moods digital project.  In March 2017 Moods Digital began documenting every possible show that performed at the club. On September 8th 2017 Moods launched the Moods Digital platform with an archive of 60 shows and a plan to stream 350 broadcast shows per year. This target and archive have now been surpassed. Music fans from all over the world can now watch broadcast concerts either live or on demand, through a competitively priced subscription system. Subscribers choose when and where to watch Moods concerts, either on their mobile, tablet, computer, Roku or Smart TV devices. My Guest - Claudio Cappellari is currently a Co-director of Moods and is key in helping bring parties together and overseeing all the technical requirements needed to deliver first class HD live streaming to a global audience and the archived content via Moods Digital. Claudio' s background is well grounded for the task. Since the 1990's as an early pioneer of streaming-technology, his company live-streamed concerts from major festivals such as Montreux Jazz Festival, the AVO Session and the German New Pop Festival. Claudio is also a well-accomplished performing musician as well as a technologist, very forward thinking and passionate about supporting the artist. With this set of blended skills, I can see why he holds his current position at Moods. The difference with Live concert streaming is that you can have the same immersive music listening experience utilising the current technology that they already own. The smartphone, tablet, computer or smart TV. Couple this with your existing broadband package and now Jazz lovers can immediately have access to the entire continuously growing library of concerts and all further content on www.moods.digital All content can be viewed in Full HD and with the perfect mastered sound all for less than 20€ a month. What about the Musician-artist-band? In a world where it’s getting more and more difficult for musicians to generate income from the recording industry, through this initiative Moods created a very fair revenue-sharing system by offering artists 70/30 partnership in the revenues from subscriptions, with all costs covered by Moods. The revenue portion of Moods’ 30% is used for online studio operating expenses.
