Reports abound that legendary jazz and blues label Blue Note is revamping its Web site as a combination social-networking and digital-downloading source, presumably offering music from Blue Note’s extensive back catalog. “No marketing and no attention is usually paid to an older demographic,” Blue Note general manager Zach Hochkeppel told Reuters. “They’re sort of ignored and neglected by media in general. Youth is always the first and foremost target, [which] sends the message to the older consumer that ‘This isn’t for you.’” Blue Note is banking on the idea that middle-aged music fans are just as Web savvy as their younger counterparts, and are actually more willing to pay for the music they download — a claim that is supported by a handful of recent surveys. But will all those tweedy Coltrane-obsessed Gaulois smokers hang out online messaging each other about rare digital releases (or their wine cellars)? We’ll see.
