Announcement of the first two conference programme items
Back by popular demand: ‘Music Rights on Tour’. At last year’s inJazz conference, three rights societies offered insights into everyone’s favourite subject: payment. Dutch saxophonist Benjamin Herman was subjected to an administrative health check, which resulted in many an eye-opener for him as well as the audience. There is more money to be collected from Buma/Stemra, Sena and NORMA than most of us know! That is why inJazz asked Music Rights on Tour to swing by the conference again this year, with another major player from the Dutch jazz scene.
‘Sketches of Spain: meet the festivals’, the second conference programme item inJazz likes to announce. inJazz invites a group of Spanish jazz professionals who will give an overview of the country’s traditions, structures and challenges in the jazz field. The talk will be moderated by Hans Mantel, a bassist and conservatory teacher who has long played and worked in Spain himself. Representatives from Madrid Community, Catalonia, Andalusia, Galicia and other regions are available during inJazz 2020 matchmaking sessions too.
