Europe Jazz Network (EJN) is an association of European producers and presenters who specialise in contemporary jazz and improvised musics.
In 2012 EJN celebrates its 25th anniversary.
EJN was formed in 1987, at a time when the internet and email were in their infancy. From the inspiration that new electronic communication
methods could make it possible for promoters to share ideas and collaborate in organising tours and concerts, EJN was created as a
network of promoters who connected with one another through the newly emerging medium of the world wide web.
Based in Italy, and prompted by the vision of Filippo Bianchi, long-time Artistic Director of Ravenna Jazz and Reggio Emilia Jazz, in the early years EJN recruited almost 20 members
coming from all over Europe who collected and shared information on musicians and live music promotion. Nowadays the membership includes 86 organisations in 25 countries.

Europe Jazz Network (EJN) is a Europe-wide association of producers, presenters and
supporting organisations who specialise in creative music, contemporary jazz and improvised
music created from a distinctly European perspective. The membership includes 87
organisations (Festivals, clubs and concert venues, independent promoters, national
organisations) in 27 countries.
EJN exists to support the identity and diversity of jazz in Europe and broaden awareness of this
vital area of music as a cultural and educational force.
EJN's mission is to encourage, promote and support the development of the creative improvised
musics of the European scene and to create opportunities for artists, organisers and audiences
from the different countries to meet and communicate.
EJN believes that creative music contributes to social and emotional growth and economic
prosperity. It is an invaluable channel for the process of inter-cultural dialogue, communication
and collaboration. And music is a positive force for harmony and understanding between people
from the diversity of cultures inherent in the European family. |
