Al Di Meola, Dorthaan Kirk, Karrin Allison, Houston Person, And Noriko Ueda Will Form The Jury Of Savage Ticket’s New How I Fell In Love With Jazz Video Contest
Savage Ticket is a company that recently launched a new industry-changing concept under the form of a platform mandated with a mission to redefine the way music and entertainment are presented, shared and enjoyed. The founders of Savage ticket firmly believe in the essential role played by music in the world, and the power it holds to unite and heal all of us.
In parallel to the launch of the platform, Savage Ticket has made a $50,000 donation to the Jazz Foundation of America’s COVID-19 Musicians’ Relief Fund, in order to help struggling musicians who lost their opportunity for income during the lockdown triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. The donation was made through the Kent and Martha Savage Family Charitable Fund, encouraging all those who can to donate as well, and participate in helping save artists and musicians.
Savage Ticket is an innovative platform that delivers unique concepts to both artists and audiences, and one of their new projects is the How I Fell In Love With Jazz Video Contest. All that is requested to participate in this contest is to send the platform a 60-second video detailing how you fell in love with Jazz music, and is open to participation both to fans and performers. The first prize will receive $2500, the second $1000, and an additional hundred endearments will receive $100. The most exclusive panel of judges will determine the winners, among which no less than Al Di Meola, Dorthaan Kirk, Karrin Allison, Houston Person, and Noriko Ueda.
While we are going through one of the most uncertain phases in the world, and one that has and will affect the music industry with full-impact, it is torchbearers of new concepts like the Savage Ticket platform that gives us a little hope, that after all, tomorrow’s world will find a way to keep music at the heart of our lives.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream
Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.
The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.
The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.
Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.

The Soul Train Awards Are Finally Coming Back
The “Soul Train Awards” are getting their groove back. BET confirmed the show is returning this November after a three-year pause, and this time it’s landing somewhere it’s never aired before: CBS.
The revived special airs Friday, November 27th at 8 PM, simulcast across BET and CBS, plus VH1, MTV2, Logo, and BET Her for anyone who wants to catch it more than once. It won’t be broadcast live this time — the show was taped in Chicago, the same city where Don Cornelius first launched “Soul Train” back in 1971.
The ceremony went quiet after its 2023 edition, hosted by Keke Palmer, and BET’s former leadership chalked the pause up to needing a rethink for a media landscape that looks nothing like it did when the show started. That rethink is apparently done. BET’s Connie Orlando says the 2026 edition comes back “reimagined” with a “bold new format,” built around pairing the artists who shaped R&B and soul with the ones carrying it forward now.
Spotify has signed on as the exclusive streaming partner and Toyota is attached as a sponsor, so this isn’t a scrappy comeback — it’s a full relaunch. Performances, honorees, and a host are all still to be announced, but for a show that spent three years on ice, just having a date back on the calendar feels like something worth celebrating.
