Together with MCN Publishing and MCN Jazz, Rhythm Changes is working on the publication of an online, and possibly iPad-ready publication of jazz works composed in the Netherlands. There are a number of objectives we have:
– To make historic and artistic important material available and visible
– To facilitate the performance of Dutch jazz compositions
– To facilitate and invite research, analysis, and educational goals
The editorial board consists of:
Walter van de Leur (Editor in Chief); Professor of Jazz and Improvised Music (University of Amsterdam and Conservatory of Amsterdam) and Principal Investigator for Rhythm Changes
Maarten van der Grinten (Editor); Guitarist, composer and main subject teacher (Conservatory of Amsterdam)
Michael Moore (Editor); Reed player, composer and main subject teacher (Prins Claus Conservatory Groningen)
Davo van Peursen (Publisher); Head MCN-Publishing
Sophie Bluss (Publicity); Projectleader MCN-Jazz
The NL Real Book was officially launched at the North Sea Jazz Festival, July 2011:
