Jazz Services is building a number of alliances with organisations to provide mutual support to avoid duplication of services.

TBS has contributed materials to The Jazz Site, and its MSc Marketing Management students are preparing a strategic marketing plan for the company as part of their studies. Jazz Services is also keen to collaborate with TBS on research into the jazz market and its overall economic contribution to the cultural industries, and is one of the case studies for TBS Senior Lecturer and accomplished jazz musician Noel Dennis for his PhD on jazz and marketing.

Centre for Jazz Studies  www.lcm.ac.uk
The mission of the Centre for Jazz Studies UK at Leeds College of Music is to support the development of jazz in the UK through education, performance and composition, outreach, research, collaborative partnerships and the brokering of unique, creative projects. The Leeds International Jazz Conference, held annually, is firmly established as the principal forum for jazz research in the UK. The international peer reviewed Jazz Research Journal (formerly the source: challenging jazz criticism) was founded in 2004 as a Centre initiative. The journal features contributions from some of the leading scholars in the field.The Centre is proud to host the Jazz Research Network, which aims to bring together all those interested in jazz research and those who have ongoing projects through online discussion and events held throughout the year.
