Want your business to be the top-listed Media Company?
A not-for-profit organisation, whose aim is to collect, curate, preserve, celebrate and promote the legacy of British jazz musicians. The archive collects, curates and preserves off-air and other recordings of British jazz performances.
The organisation will publish books, release vinyl, CDs and downloads, working in partnership with musicians and their families. The source material will either come from musicians’ own archives, or from the collections of fans who had the foresight to preserve copies of off-air recordings. Recordings will only be used with the approval of the musicians or their families and subject to appropriate copyright clearance and royalty payments.
Interest is sought from anyone who has recordings that could be contributed to the archive, and from musicians (or their families/estates) who are willing to contribute material from their own archives.
From jazz innovations in the 1950s, to the golden age of 1960s and 70s modern jazz, jazz-rock and free improvisation, and all the original music created since; the archive intends to ensure that music is not lost, but heard, and that musicians receive recompense, recognition and appreciation.
