New Land Jazz Active Team

Professional Development Service Providers

Other Professional Development Resources

www.sonicbids.com - puts musicians looking for professional gigs in touch with presenters and promoters who need services. Also for a small fee they help develop an ‘electronic press kit’.  I also help with this for my team members.

www.secondfloormusic.com - very advanced service for composers of jazz music, used by team members Meredith D’Ambrosio and Steve Davis.

www.jazztimes.com - see their online guides to jazz festivals, jazz studies programs, etc. updated yearly in their magazine! This is worth the price of a subscription by itself! I always recommend that players who want to advance identify the leaders they want to study with and find out what jazz programs they teach in, what festivals they play at, and master classes they teach, and get into them. This will enlarge your network very quickly. Also, Jazz Times is the publisher for the IAJE, the International Association for Jazz Education. (They get points for that.)

www.artistshare.com - extremely useful tool for advanced players and composers to allow grass roots support for musical projects. Team member Pete Malinverni has used this service. Most famous composer on this system we all love is Maria Schneider. I recently heard that Ed Neumeister has a bunch of things going there. Very advanced and revolutionary tools. It might be right for you. Check it out.

Meyerhaus Design - Based in the Portland Metro Area, Meyerhaus Design specializes in Web Design, Multimedia, Print Design, and Video for customers within the arts, education and non-profit fields.
