The 7 Virtual Jazz Club continues to search
for new and underexposed jazz talent from the four corners of the world.
A grand prize of € 4,000 will be awarded to the winner.
Milan, Italy, August 17th, 2017
The 7 Virtual Jazz Club continues its worldwide search for emerging and
underrecognized creative musicians from all ages and backgrounds. The
winner will receive € 4,000, while another € 2,000 will go to the best
new talent (the “Best new talent” is a musician—soloist or band
member—who is considered the best musician by the jury, even if he or
she doesn't reach the finals) and the musicians who tally the most
popular votes by the web community will receive € 1,000.
To enter the contest, soloists and groups pay a small registration fee
and submit a video (maximum seven minutes) of their performance. Entries
will be judged by a panel of international jazz experts (meet the
experts) comprised of some of the most respected journalists, musicians
and educators in the field.
