The COVID-19 pandemic prevented many performing artists from gathering and creating art together as they had in the past. As a result, during the first months of the pandemic, an increased number of virtual collaborations emerged between musicians from all over the world, and across many different genres. Very few studies have examined the adaptations that must take place in order to perform music virtually using an asynchronous format in which group members record themselves one instrument at a time. This study focuses exclusively on asynchronous collaboration between jazz musicians. Jazz is a musical genre typically performed and recorded live by co-present musicians with an emphasis on spontaneous improvisation and real time interaction. In August 2020, we gathered data from semi-structured interviews conducted with 11 New York-based jazz musicians who, during COVID-19, participated in remote, asynchronous musical collaborations. Transcripts were analyzed using Thematic Analysis to identify common themes underlying the participants' experiences. Results described the remote collaborative process, including the distinct affordances and costs associated with this music-making format and how they shaped the nature of these collaborations. Eight broad themes emerged from the data, including how the remote format had affected musicians' (1) motivation, (2) reaction to the music-making process, (3) aesthetic implications of the format, (4) attitudes, (5) interaction with technology, (6) recording experience and challenges, (7) social dynamics, and (8) overall satisfaction. As a first naturalistic exploration examining asynchronous collaborations among jazz musicians, this study's findings demonstrate how the remote setting affected aspects of collaboration in every step of the music-making process. This process required increased effort and planning and led to limited interaction between musicians and feelings of isolation within the music community. Although some musicians used the virtual setting as an opportunity to create innovative projects, most collaborations aimed to imitate in-person music playing, leading musicians to feel constrained and rigid. As the virtual art world continues to expand and develop, the results of this study have the potential to inform the ways in which artists choose to use the virtual space, both in terms of the advantages and costs of remote music making.
