The research project focuses on issues of musical socialisation, cultural assimilation, financial strategies and gender inequalities within the jazz scenes of three major European cities: Barcelona, Budapest and Manchester. These three cities are illustrative of fundamental changes in the way that contemporary music scenes in Europe are responding to challenges of globalisation and cultural assimilation. This is most apparent in the many hybrid musical forms being developed by Europe’s traditional (Gypsies) and current (immigrant diasporas) ‘quintessential others’ to express cultural identities. Given that each selected scene’s functioning is closely linked to peculiar ethnic and racial characteristics, the three scenes provide compelling examples of the way in which jazz-related cultural practices reflect, shape and reinvent Europe’s cultural landscape. This interdisciplinary research project of transnational comparative scope is expected to generate new knowledge on the contemporary musical expressions of cultural diversity and assimilation strategies through music in Europe, which is essential to design projects that enhance intercultural dialogue. The following questions will guide the project: How do musicians construct the trajectory of their musical (dis)tastes and how it relates to their socioeconomic status? How does improvised music function to achieve cultural assimilation and (at the same time) to maintain distinctions linked to ethnicity, race and gender? How does gender become a relevant factor in acquiring prestige? What types of economic and artistic strategies do musicians develop to achieve artistic autonomy? Throughout the fellowship, the ER will conduct 35 in-depth interviews with mixed-background jazz musicians, undertake ethnographic fieldwork at eight venues, submit two articles, present at five conferences, organize academic workshops and design an international series of popular science events to further disseminate the results.
