I am an American jazz guitarist and I may be moving to Rome in the near future. I would love to talk with anyone with experience playing jazz in Rome or any other Italian city. What is the scene like? How much do gigs pay? How much do lessons pay?

Thanks,
Kevin

 

Yes, that's good advice. Unfortunately, clubs (at least here in the States) are fairly tight lipped about things like that - they don't want to give out too much info so they can negotiate better. Perhaps I can pretend to be a grad student doing research on different musician pay rates in different cities - maybe then I can get an honest answer.

Regards,
Kevin
