IAJE - UK

In connection with IAJE, Ian Darrington writes that "In order to ensure that the UK and its members are well represented within the organisation the IAJE UK has been created. A constitution has been drafted and an organising committee has been set up to promote and develop membership and raise funds. Additionally, it is intended in 2005 to begin the distribution of a regular newsletter."

Ian notes that "it has been acutely difficult to persuade UK jazz musicians of the values of IAJE membership with many seeing it as exclusively American." Hopefully the new organisation will do something to counter that.
