Did you see Apple’s iPhone 4 commercial?
There was no loud music, no black silhouettes dancing around the screen, no splashes of color and basic text. The commercial showed images of the iPhone with the audio of Louis Armstrong’s classic "When You're Smiling."
The commercial sparked some debate over whether Apple was losing their edge or their touch.
One of the most hip and relevant companies, with only a small market share in the desktop/notebook market, has embraced jazz which has a small market share of the music sales market.
Though jazz has a small market share, we're convinced that many desire the music. They want to book jazz bands for weddings, graduation parties, cocktails or a private home performance. That's why we're investing in and building our gig booking tool. Every time you book a musician through Music for Tomorrow, we'll allocate money to charitable causes that benefit New Orleans.
It's a work in progress, but we are nearing completion of our beta launch website and will share it with you soon.

People want jazz. And they want it outside of a jazz club, at their college and in their homes. Jazz is alive.
