A good Jam session, a good Jazz show implies that every participant not only plays but also takes the time to listen to the others. You need to be fast on your feet, ready for changes and quick turns, in other words, flexible.
Crisis and challenges on a personal or business level can be better solved if all these skills are used.
On May 20th, the Japan Society (New York) brings together great minds to explore the art of recovery in Jazz Is Life Community Dialogue: Innovation & the Art of Future Building and they invited me to attend.
The title might be a mouthful .
The great minds in questions are Rosanne Haggerty, Common Ground (New York non profit whose goal is to end homelessness) , Kohei Nishiyama, CEO of design-to-order company elephant design (Japan), Marty Ashby, Executive Producer of MCG Jazz (Pittsburgh), and Jay Weigel, Executive/Artistic Director for the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans.
Admission is $10.
The event will be repeated in New Orleans on May 22nd.
More in keeping with my usual Tokyo Thursdays themes, the Japan Society current exhibit is The Genius of Japanese Lacquer: Masterworks by Shibata Zeshin (pictured here, runs until Sunday, June 15).
