Another interesting model in a different genre -- big band leader Maria Schneider (who learned at the shoulders of Gil Evans and Bob Brookmeyer) has a website (http://mariaschneider.com) where she sells "packages" of premium content, which range anywhere from mp3 downloads of albums to physical CD sales with bonuses like access to printed scoresof her (incredible) arrangements, video/audio of rehearsals and tour performances, blogs, etc., essentially giving fans a front row seat to her creative process. The premium pricing isn't all that hefty, and the value-added for a fan is pretty impressive. One way to create a new model...
