In his book The Miracle: The Epic Story of Asia's Quest for Wealth (HarperCollins, 2009), Michael Schuman writes, “In little more than a generation, Asia has emerged from centuries of stagnation to become the rising force of the global economy—a transformation so spectacular that some have called it a miracle."
Given the sheer number of people—over 4 billion—the booming economies and important social changes, it is not so farfetched when Agus Setiawan, of WartaJazz.com, declares, “The next big thing for jazz is Asia."
AllAboutJazz.com's Far East correspondent, Ian Patterson, spoke at length with Setiawan, about the beginnings of WartaJazz.com, it's exponential growth, and the site's goal of mobilizing jazz fans in the Far East by giving them quick and easy access to information.
