- Så langt jeg kjenner til er vi den første festivalen som direktesender jazzkonserter gratis til mobiltelefoner og datamaskiner over hele verden. Det blir svært spennende å se hva responsen blir både her til lands og internasjonalt. Vi vet at Trondheimsmiljøet har høstet stor anerkjennelse ute i verden og ønsker nå å gi alle muligheten til å oppleve konsertene våre – enten de er i Tokyo, New Orleans, Indre Billefjord eller Langesund, sier daglig leder Ernst Wiggo Sandbakk i Trondheim Jazzfestival.

Målet med Jazzfest World Wide er todelt. For det første ønsker Trondheim Jazzfestival i enda større grad å bidra til at festivalen blir et utstillingsvindu for de svært dyktige jazztalentene som utdannes ved NTNU og som opptrer på Jazzfest.no. I tillegg understreker satsningen hvor viktig ny teknologi og nye distribusjonskanaler kan bli for festivalen i framtiden. Ved suksess blir Jazzfest World Wide en permanent satsning som byr på spennende jazzopplevelser på høyt kunstnerisk nivå året igjennom.

When Trondheim Jazzfestival (Jazzfest.no) begins May 11th in Trondheim, Norway, jazz lovers around the world will be able to enjoy the music online. Nine concerts from the 5-day-long event will be broadcast directly via the Internet. This virtual audience will also be able to follow concerts both via computer and cell phone. The festival is a showcase for Norwegian jazz musicians, many of whom were educated at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s (NTNU) Jazz Programme.
“As far as I know, we are the first festival that will send free jazz concerts to mobile phones and computers worldwide. It will be very exciting to see what the response will be both in Norway and internationally. We know that Trondheim jazz milieu has gained wide recognition throughout the world – so now we want to give everyone the chance to enjoy our concerts – whether they are in Tokyo, New Orleans, Inner Billefjord or Langesund,” says Ernst Wiggo Sandbakk, Trondheim Jazz Festival director and associate professor of music at NTNU.
The aim of the Jazz Fest Worldwide is twofold. The first is to showcase the jazz talents being educated at NTNU and who will perform at Jazzfest.no. The second is to try out new technologies and new distribution channels that will be important for the festival in the future.
To enable the concerts to be broadcast via the Internet, festival organizers worked with two local companies, Adactus and Boost Communications, both of which have ties to NTNU. The two companies have expertise in multimedia, streaming and broadcast. Among the most well-known of their clients is FC Barcelona, for whcih the companies provide web TV and mobile portal services.*
Satsningen har blitt til i samarbeid med lokale selskaper med høy kompetanse innenfor streaming og kringkasting. Adactus og Boost Communications har høy teknologisk kompetanse og bred erfaring på området. I samarbeid drifter de blant annet FC Barcelonas web-tv og mobilklient.
