Abstract

We analyse the recent consolidation of the jazz art world in Portugal. We examine the main changes in the art worlds and its agents on the basis of opinions gathered from comprehensive interviews with 45 musicians, in which they talked about their dynamics and vulnerabilities. We show that the consolidation of this world is an ambiguous, ambivalent process. This is due to uneven progression among the different agents, which results in the need for multitasking on the part of musicians and prevalence of inequality and competition for the available resources.
