The Centre for Jazz Studies UK is primarily committed to upholding and supporting the development of jazz in the UK. A way in which it seeks to do this is through the implementation of, and involvement with sector-wide initiatives. Since it was established in September 2005, the Centre has explored various options to aid the development of the UK’s jazz scene and carefully selects projects to undertake as it continually strives towards maintaining awareness and progress within the jazz community.
