Jazz is rich in history and culture, yet it is also music that remains fresh and new, simply because it will always evolve and develop. Jazz Services exists to promote and support the development of jazz in the UK. We offer services in information, education, touring support, communications, marketing and publishing. In short, Jazz services provides a voice for jazz. The company was formed 20 years ago and is a registered charity funded by the Arts Council England, with some financial support from the Musicians’ Union and the Performing Right Society Foundation. The staff of Chris Hodgkins (Director) Celia Wood (Information and Publications Manager) and Phil Meloy (Information Officer) are assisted by part time work from Montfort Maxon (Administration), Steve French (Computer Consultant) and Biddy Samuels (Support Worker).
