About this Quote

Norman Granz's quote speaks with the trouble of preserving an effective group in the music market. He suggests that the leaders of groups are able to make adequate cash to work a maximum of 35-40 weeks a year, implying that the rest of the year is invested in other activities. This recommends that the music market is not as stable as it may appear, which it is challenging for groups to stay together for extended periods of time. This could be due to the truth that the music market is extremely competitive which it is tough to preserve a successful group for a long period of time. In addition, the fact that the leaders of groups have the ability to make enough money to work an optimum of 35-40 weeks a year indicates that the remainder of the year is spent on other activities, such as touring, recording, and promo. This additional suggests that the music industry is not as stable as it might appear, which it is tough for groups to stay together for long periods of time.
