    Abstract

    Festivals have an important, if undervalued, position in Europe?s cultural ecology, with their dynamic and synergetic relationship to spaces and cultural sites. Within this context, jazz and improvised music festivals provide a distinctive lens through which to explore key issues in heritage research, drawing on music's unique and complex relationship to concepts of high and low culture, tradition, innovation, authenticity and (non)-European identity. This chapter explores the findings from the JPI-Heritage+ project CHIME and makes recommendations for future research into heritage planning.
