C) Introduction 1. JazzHub Leeds College of Music is bidding to JISC for matched funding under the Digital Repository Development start-up programme to create JazzHub, a digital repository managed by the College’s Centre for Jazz Studies UK. JazzHub will provide access to a number of key resources, including the LCM Jazz Archive (a unique collection of sheet music, sound recordings, photographs and historical artefacts), international conference proceedings, sector-wide jazz research/teaching and learning materials, project outcomes and publications. The two-year project will involve the development of infrastructure, a pilot scheme and implementation programme, working in partnership with JISC and a number of academic and non-academic stakeholders. JazzHub will be used as a key resource for the UK Jazz Research Network, an open access membership organisation representing UK scholars and educators across 15 disciplinary areas, including Musicology, Film Studies, Education and Comparative Literature. An e-learning Doctoral studentship and teaching and learning project will also be funded as part of the JazzHub project. 1.1 Jazz Studies is a major academic growth area in the UK, with over 50 educational institutions offering degree programmes with jazz-based content. Jazz research spans a range of disciplines from Musicology to Sociology, Cultural Studies to English Literature and this breadth of research is seen most prominently in the development of the annual Leeds International Jazz Conference (now in its 13th year) and the two recently established international peer-reviewed jazz journals, Jazz Research Journal (Equinox, 2007 - see below) and Jazz Perspectives (Routledge, 2007). Responding to sector-wide needs and growth in jazz research and education, Leeds College of Music established the Centre for Jazz Studies UK in 2004. The Centre is an international base for jazz research, consultancy, and teaching and learning projects, and maintains a broad portfolio of activities in support of institutional, subject-level and sector-wide initiatives. From its inception, the Centre has drawn down funds from bodies including the ESRC, PALATINE, ACE Yorkshire and the PRS Foundation for research projects linked to teaching and learning, such as the groundbreaking multi-institutional Investigating Musical Performance, a cross-genre comparative study of advanced musicianship, in partnership with the Institute of Education, University of York and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. The Centre has also worked closely with professional organisations such as Jazz Services, IAJE, Jazz Yorkshire and BASBWE in the promotion of schools-based education projects, community support initiatives and professional development training events. The Centre oversees the programming and delivery of the annual Leeds International Jazz Conference, now the leading international research event of its kind, and the international jazz journal, The Source: Challenging Jazz Criticism, to be published by Equinox Publishing from 2007 as the Jazz Research Journal. The Centre also supports individual outputs, performances and recordings involving national and international stakeholders. 1.2 The Centre is responsible for developing access to Leeds College of Music’s jazz archive, a specialist collection of important historical materials that document different aspects of the history of jazz in Britain. At present, the physical limitations of the LCM library resource prevent usable access to a number of archive materials. Ultimately, the creation of the JazzHub digital repository will enable access to a number of previously inaccessible collections and significant works, including:
• Approximately 5,000 hours of recordings of Duke Ellington (some of which have never been made available commercially), including rare UK hotel and broadcast recordings. This collection is of significance to the international jazz research community.
5
• The original manuscript scores used by pioneering British bandleader Ted Heath, together with sheet music. This unique and valuable set of materials is of national heritage interest to the British arts community. The archive houses c.1,500 scores used by the Ted Heath Band as well as rare solo and duo compositions not previously released.
• Recordings, printed material, letters and ephemera collected by the Ted Heath Appreciation Society, including journal articles, letters, programmes and autographs.
• Salon music written for The Savoy Hotel. • Diaries, manuscripts and other papers of drummer Max Abrams, presenting a rare
social and cultural history of early jazz in Britain. • Newspaper cuttings collected by former Melody Maker journalist Chris Hayes. • Manuscripts of the late bandleader Ronnie Aldrich and music and manuscripts
collected by the drummer Joe Daniels, both of national interest to jazz researchers. • Sheet music and band charts from the BBC Archive Band including sets from the
BBC TV programme The Good Old Days, donated by the BBC Concert Orchestra. • Several thousand 78s, vinyl and CD jazz recordings which have been donated to the
Archive by private collectors. • A rare and extensive collection of jazz-based periodicals including Blue Light (Duke
Ellington Society journal 1997-), Crescendo (Dec 1962 -), Downbeat (1961 -), Jazz and Blues (April - Dec 1973), Jazz Change (1999 - ), Jazz Journal International (1949 -), Jazz Magazine (Sept 1994 – Dec 1997), Jazz Magazine International (Aug 1994 -), Jazz Player (Feb/Mar 1995 – Dec 1997/Jan 1998), Jazz Podium (June 1995 – June 1997), Jazziz (1998 - ), Jazzwise (April 1997 –), Just Jazz Guitar (Feb 1995 –), Melody Maker (1944-1946), Mississippi Rag (Nov 1981 – Oct 1983), The Source: Challenging Jazz Criticism (2004-).
1.3 JazzHub will also host relevant MA theses, Doctoral submissions and Conference proceedings, as well as special exhibitions drawn from other UK archives, providing unique access to the latest research findings in jazz. JazzHub will provide key resources and services for the JRN, as well as professional bodies including Jazz Services, the National Jazz Archive, The Women’s Jazz Archive and the International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE), and individual researchers working in isolation across the UK. 1.4 Leeds College of Music supports the Centre for Jazz Studies UK through its Learning and Teaching Committee, a committee of the LCM Academic Board. The Centre and repository resource forms a part of the College’s higher-level strategy for development post sector transfer in August 2005, undertaking a leadership role in international jazz research and supporting sector-wide teaching and learning projects. The Centre has developed unique partnerships with both academic and non-academic organisation and aims to develop JazzHub to support new communities of interest and innovative ways of working. The repository forms part of the Centre for Jazz Studies UK’s four-stage strategic plan: Year Stage Strategic objective 2004-2006 Stage 1 Establish the Centre for Jazz Studies and develop innovative
Research and Teaching & Learning projects 2006-2007 Stage 2 Develop an on-line presence, including a digital repository for the
LCM Jazz Archive and Centre materials 2007-2008
Stage 3
Enhance the Jazz Research Network, using the Centre’s on-line resource as a hub for activities. Establish the Centre for Jazz Studies as an Open University Affiliated Research Centre, offering doctoral level research study in jazz and related musics.
2008-2010 Stage 4 Create a physical sector-wide resource in partnership with national and regional stakeholders (including, ACE Yorkshire, AHRC, HEFCE, Heritage Lottery, Jazz Services, JazzYorkshire, JISC, National Jazz Archive and Yorkshire Forward).
6
1.5 JazzHub will build on the Centre’s existing strengths in project management, its innovations in sector-wide research projects, its proactive contribution to Conservatoires UK, the linking of educational and professional environments, and the excellence of its specialist staff. Without the support of JISC at this vital stage in the Leeds College of Music’s development as a new Higher Education Institution, the JazzHub project will be severely limited in terms of its scope, reach and potential dissemination. The timescales for the repository’s start-up and implementation will be severely affected, as Leeds College of Music’s financial support cannot extend beyond the £41,308 outlined in the budget below. Without JISC’s support, the Centre for Jazz Studies UK’s plans for a permanent resource will also be hampered, as the digital repository forms an integral part of the Centre’s capacity building strategy. 2. Aims and Objectives The JazzHub repository has the potential to effect a major step change in the work of the Centre for Jazz Studies UK, opening up research work, learning materials and archive resources to an ever-growing community. 2.1 Specifically, over a two-year period, commencing in March 2007 and concluding in March 2009, the JazzHub project aims to:
• Achieve the Centre for Jazz Studies stage 2 strategic objective by creating a digital repository for the LCM Jazz Archive, JRN and Centre materials; create an infrastructure for JazzHub, including strategy documents, policies, design and architecture, and a pilot scheme.
• Develop an institutional and subject resource that will benefit students, researchers and enthusiasts alike.
• Stimulate networking, collaboration and virtual research projects through increased access to Centre for Jazz Studies UK materials.
• Support the work of the Jazz Research Network through an unrivalled jazz resource. • Create a user-friendly and accessible portal to the LCM Jazz Archive, enabling
access to previously unseen collections and materials. • Develop strategic partnerships with other institutions, public bodies and networks,
opening up the JazzHub to other resources, collections and user groups. • Appoint a repository manager responsible for the management and implementation of
JazzHub. • Support a research studentship in e-learning to enhance the relationship between
JazzHub, research and teaching and learning. • Develop good practice in partnership with JISC, linking closely with other UK
repositories and support services. • Enable Leeds College of Music to develop its sector-wide output, presence and
dissemination, following its transfer to the HE sector in 2005. • Develop the work of the Centre for Jazz Studies UK internationally through links to
other archives and music repositories (University of Rochester Research, Institute of Jazz Studies Rutgers, University of Chicago, UCLA etc) and the publication of conference materials.

D) Project Description 3. Rationale and Outputs At present, the UK jazz research community remains in its infancy, as no central resource exists for researchers to share information, ideas and support services. This lack of a central resource has, historically, resulted in jazz research being under-funded and marginalised within the sector. The Centre for Jazz Studies UK has sought to co-ordinate activities through its sector-wide teaching and learning projects, annual programme of events and publications and forging strategic partnerships with regional, national and international organisations. The JazzHub digital repository will help build a collective research community, creating a unique and unparalleled resource for jazz-based research and scholarship. 3.1 Specifically, the creation of JazzHub will provide the following outputs:
• Digitised archive materials – the recently acquired Ted Heath Collection, BBC Big Band archives and Duke Ellington UK recordings, and joint projects between the Centre for Jazz Studies UK and the National Jazz Archive.
• A fully searchable database of listings and materials, supporting the work of the Jazz Research Network
• Teaching and learning materials (developed in partnership with organisations including Conservatoires UK, The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and IAJE)
• Project dissemination (including PALATINE, Investigating Musical Performance, Virtual Ellington Library Archive [VELA] European project)
• Recordings and scores (Centre-supported recording projects, PRS Foundation Creative Exchange commission scores and recordings)
• Conference proceedings (from international conferences and jazz colloquia including the International Leeds International Jazz Conference, Darmstadt biennial jazz colloquia and annual interdisciplinary jazz studies colloquium, University of Kansas and the Centre for Ideas, University of Melbourne)
• MA/Doctoral Theses on jazz and related topics 3.2 The creation of JazzHub will significantly advance the Centre for Jazz Studies UK’s capacity to deliver excellence in research and teaching and learning. The Centre for Jazz Studies UK will design projects around JazzHub, both in terms of international research into jazz in the UK and sector-wide teaching and learning projects, which will use the repository as a focus of activities. In particular, a JazzHub e-learning studentship will devise a number of practical and research-oriented projects involving students from Leeds College of Music and other UK institutions. Projects will include the realisation of historical performance through archival research, the social and cultural history of jazz in Britain, and the use of JazzHub as a virtual research tool. 4. Benefits to the Wider Community As the market leader in jazz education provision in the UK, Leeds College of Music has a proven track record of excellence in Jazz Studies. LCM’s many developments and innovations during its 40 years of jazz provision have had a positive impact both on College staff and students, and on the sector as a whole. LCM has demonstrated effective skills in developing collaborative partnerships, combining resources with peers and colleagues nationally and internationally to deliver high quality results in teaching, learning and research. With support from JISC, the Centre for Jazz Studies UK will build on its current strengths to deliver a vibrant and dynamic digital resource for jazz, unparalleled in the UK and abroad. 4.1 In particular, JazzHub will bring the following benefits to the wider community:
• Creating a central interdisciplinary resource for jazz research, teaching and learning, and archival materials, representing the needs and interests of over 50 FECs/HEIs across 15 disciplinary areas.
• Providing access to a number of previously inaccessible materials from sheet music to sound recordings, research papers to jazz periodicals.
8
• Stimulating and nurturing virtual networks and communities of interest through JazzHub and the JRN.
• Creating a designated UK repository for the Jazz and the Performing Arts, expanding the output of existing UK repositories.
• Preserving archive materials of national and international interest. • Enabling researchers to collaborate and share information in line with the 2010 vision
of open-access repositories (http://www.jisc.ac.uk/uploaded_documents/rep-roadmap-v15.doc).
• Raising the profile of JISC/UK Digital Repositories within the performing arts sector. • Providing a resource for sharing and disseminating good practice in research and
teaching and learning. • Hosting a range of online exhibitions promoting specialist research projects. • Complementing the work of other digital repositories both nationally and
internationally, improving interoperability between repository services. • Having a significant impact upon the sector-wide teaching and learning environment,
bringing major benefits to jazz students on a number of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
• Strengthening links between academic, professional and independent bodies such as Jazz Services, MLA Yorkshire and the European-funded Multilingual Inventory of Cultural Heritage in Europe (MICHAEL - www.michael-culture.org) project to promote jazz research, education and cultural heritage.
4.2 As the recognised leader in the field of interdisciplinary jazz research, the Centre has taken a pioneering role in the development of teaching and learning strategies for jazz and improvised music, as well as playing a significant role in the dissemination of good practice across the sector. The JazzHub repository will serve to develop current digital resources for jazz through an open access resource. Current repository services are limited for jazz and popular music; the Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS), for example, supports collections that focus mainly on Western Classical Music and early music. JazzHub has the potential to become a groundbreaking international resource for jazz and would support the development of the jazz research community worldwide. The Centre for Jazz Studies UK will work in partnership with the AHDS and JISC to promote JazzHub at an international level, and has already established links with other international archives (including Darmstadt and the Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers) through its active involvement with the Jazz Perspectives journal (Routledge). JazzHub will play a key role in the College’s leading contribution to the Virtual Ellington Library Archive (VELA) project, a consortium of European institutions promoting shared resources and virtual access to the music of Duke Ellington. Consortium partners include the Biblioteca Civica di Valenza, University of Athens, University of Lecce, Jazzinstitut Darmstadt, Denmark Radio (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) and the Amsterdam Conservatory. The JazzHub start-up project will also develop links with other JISC-supported programmes to complement work going on in related fields. For example, JazzHub would develop synergies with the JISC-supported Archival Sound Recordings project through the Head of Centre for Jazz Studies’ Edison Fellowship at the British Library Sound Archive. 4.3 Currently, the majority of international repositories for jazz and popular music only offer basic search facilities without open-access, downloadable materials. JazzHub will not only co-ordinate its activities in line with other international repositories for the performing arts but will also act, uniquely, as a multi-functional resource, enabling users to search, view and download significant archival materials. As a permanent and sustainable resource, JazzHub will play an integral part in the strategic development of the Centre for Jazz Studies UK and the Jazz Research Network. The creation and maintenance of a digital repository for jazz is a strategic priority for the Centre, and Leeds College of Music is committed to supporting, sustaining and developing the resource beyond the two-year funding period. 5. Management Legal and strategic planning will form a central part of the first phase of the project, followed by technical and pilot implementation phases. The Centre for Jazz Studies UK will adopt relevant technical standards in order to improve interoperability between repositories and is committed to the service-oriented approach of the JISC e-Framework for Education and
9
Research. The Centre will work closely with JISC/UK Access Management Federation to ensure that approaches to authorisation and authentication, and the provision of repository content, adhere to national and international standards.1 The project team will work towards developing policies and procedures on Intellectual Property Rights, both to ensure that individual rights are protected and that the JazzHub resource remains free at the point of use to the HE and FE community. JazzHub will also explore models of good practice found in other UK repositories whilst developing an architecture and framework that is in keeping with jazz, arts and humanities specialist needs. With this in mind, the Centre for Jazz Studies UK will be interested in working with the JISC and the Visual Arts Data Service to develop a repository resource which uses jazz not only as primary content but also as a design and architectural theme. 5.1 The Centre for Jazz Studies UK team will work closely with JISC in finalising timescales and project milestones, however, the two-year JazzHub repository start-up programme will be divided into four phases, with an interim period of evaluation and final project report: Timescale

Members of LCM staff play an active role in Conservatoires UK, the Association of European Conservatoires, Jazz Services’ Education Advisory Panel and the Executive Board, Jazz Research Network, the European Jazz Research Network, International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE), and 1 UK Access Management Federation http://www.ukfederation.org.uk/
10
Jazz Yorkshire. In the broader performing arts sector, the Centre has worked closely with the Society for the Promotion of New Music, Performing Right Society and PALATINE to promote research and scholarly activity in teaching and learning. College staff are proactive in sharing their work in this field, and have a strong profile of dissemination both nationally and internationally. 6.1 The Centre for Jazz Studies UK will expand its network for dissemination, working in partnership with JISC in planning dissemination events and evaluating the JazzHub programme. The JazzHub has the potential to radically transform international music repository provision, and the Centre for Jazz Studies UK would seek to extend the working partnership with JISC beyond the two-year period of funding, to ensure the resource maximises its potential and stakeholder involvement. 6.2 The ongoing development of JazzHub and implementation of the repository will be disseminated to a number of key stakeholders, both academic and non-academic. The Centre for Jazz Studies UK will disseminate JazzHub resources to the following stakeholder forums/groups:
• Jazz Research Network membership • JISC-funded partners and events, including work with other repository start-up and
enhancement programmes • Conservatoires UK Research Forum and annual conference. • Co-promoted initiatives with non-academic partners: for example, the Jazz Services
website, Jazz Yorkshire information and development events, and the Voluntary Promoters Network
• UK and international archives, including the National Jazz Archive, Womens Jazz Archive (Swansea), British Library, The Hylton Archive (Lancaster), Institute of Jazz Studies (Rutgers) and the Darmstadt Institute.
• Other repositories via the Repositories Support Project and the Arts and Humanities Data Service
• Jazz educators and researchers through targeted events at the Leeds International Jazz Conference and IAJE annual convention (international delegation of over 7,000 jazz educators and researchers)
• The wider performing arts sector, through collaborative work with PALATINE and the HE Academy
6.3 Leeds College of Music has a robust track record of risk management, ensuring that projects and initiatives are continually monitored and supported. The JazzHub project will be overseen by the Centre for Jazz Studies UK Steering Committee, working on behalf of the LCM Academic Board. The Steering Committee will be responsible for ensuring the project is managed effectively and that risks are managed and evaluated accordingly. In addition to this programme of internal monitoring and review, the JazzHub project will be evaluated at two stages within the two year period (see above) and the Centre for Jazz Studies UK will work closely with JISC in formulating an appropriate mechanism for evaluation. 6.4 The following are the critical success factors for JazzHub:
• Commitment, support and buy-in across Leeds College of Music • Sector-wide awareness, understanding and participation • Increased stakeholder exposure to, and benefit from, the resource • The development of appropriate infrastructure to support new initiatives • Open access to a range of previously inaccessible materials • Sustainability of the resource and long-term commitment to its development and
maintenance • Monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to measure effectiveness
LCM will work with JISC in developing a robust organisational and management framework to address these critical success factors.

7. Budget Commentary The JazzHub repository start-up is designed to support infrastructure costs, staff project time, project travel and dissemination costs. The budget outline above includes recruitment and employment costs for a JazzHub project manager (O.5 FTE), as well as hardware/software resources in support of the new position. Advertisement costs for the JazzHub Project Manager post are covered under ‘other costs’. The post will be advertised in September 2007. 7.1 In addition to core staff, the Centre for Jazz Studies will draw on support from the JISC legal and consultative team and a pool of Leeds College of Music’s Industry Partners to advise on legal and strategic issues (such as intellectual property in relation to the performing arts, data management and protection). These consultancy costs are outlined above. 7.2 Dissemination and travel costs will be used not only to cover key JISC meetings and events they will also enable the project team to consult with the UK jazz research community about the design and implementation of JazzHub. Publication of the JazzHub project outcomes, pilot scheme and findings, and education programme are covered under dissemination costs. Venue hire costs relate to three dissemination events throughout the duration of the project. 7.3 Directly incurred staff costs cover the Centre for Jazz Studies UK’s project team staffing costs and estimates of time spent on the JazzHub project. Costs include provision for an annual 3% cost of living increase and, where applicable, incremental salary rises. The e-learning studentship fee is based on the College’s negotiated doctoral tariff with the University of Leeds. 7.4 Indirect costs include general estates costs, such as office accommodation and general administration costs. 7.5 The project provides good value for money in terms of JISC’s commitment to the programme, not only through the requested 42% matched funding but also in terms of project reach and dissemination. JazzHub will not only serve the institutional needs of Leeds College of Music’s staff and students, but will also support both subject and sector-wide research, teaching and archive projects, maximising the potential exposure to the work of JISC and its partners. Matched funding from JISC is required to enable the Centre for Jazz Studies UK to develop the infrastructure for JazzHub. Without support from JISC, the development of JazzHub will be severely restricted, limiting the Centre for Jazz Studies UK’s ability to spearhead jazz research at a national and international level. 7.6 Leeds College of Music is committed to supporting the Centre for Jazz Studies in the creation of JazzHub and to the maintenance, sustainability and development of the resource over the long term. In maintaining a commitment to open access resources for academic, scholarly and student communities, the College would be keen to work in collaboration with JISC to secure additional sources of income to support JazzHub beyond the start-up programme. The JazzHub start-up project will form the basis of a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for a permanent site for the Centre for Jazz Studies UK and Archive space, and the Centre for Jazz Studies UK will also explore the potential for diversifying revenue streams for the project through additional services.

F) Key Personnel 8. Project Management The Centre for Jazz Studies UK has a track record of effective and efficient project, budgetary and human resources management, demonstrated by the success of its recent national research projects. The Centre’s existing management infrastructure is ideally placed to realise the vision of JazzHub and to maximise its ability to impact upon researchers, teachers and learners across the arts and humanities sector. The Centre’s core management team includes two jazz researchers and an e-learning/technology specialist who have established reputations as leading scholars and practitioners within their fields. Whilst the start-up project will be managed primarily by LCM, the Centre will develop a proactive partnership with JISC’s Repositories Research Team and other funded projects, including the Repositories Support Project (SHERPA). In addition to the core Centre management team, Leeds College of Music will appoint a JazzHub Project Manager from January 2008, to oversee the design and architecture, pilot project and implementation stages. 8.1 Roles and responsibilities for the JazzHub start-up project are as follows: Principal Investigator - Head of Research & Enterprise, Dr Tony Whyton, will be the lead contact for JazzHub, responsible for its overall direction and implementation, and will act as an advocate for the repository project at a national and international level. Dr Tony Whyton is responsible for all Research & Enterprise Activities at Leeds College of Music including the Centre for Jazz Studies and management of the College’s Doctoral programme (to be considered by the Open University in 2007). The Head of Research & Enterprise is also the Chair of the Centre for Jazz Studies Steering Committee, responsible for internal evaluation and review. Dr Whyton has managed several large scale projects on behalf of Leeds College of Music, including the £110,000 HE in FE development fund for Research (2002-4) and the £40,000 ESRC-funded Investigating Musical Performance: Comparative Studies in Advanced Musical Learning (2006-8). He is also a specialist reviewer for the Heritage Lottery on music archives and oral history projects. Co-Investigator - Head of Centre for Jazz Studies, Dr Catherine Parsonage, will be responsible for the management of the JazzHub, and will lead on partnerships with Jazz Research Network and the National Jazz Archive. Dr Catherine Parsonage is a specialist researcher in British Jazz and co-ordinates the activities of the UK Jazz Research Network. She has been responsible for the management and delivery of several sector-wide teaching and learning projects, including the PALATINE/HE Academy-funded “Integrating Theory and Practice in Conservatoires” (completed, September 2006). Dr Parsonage also holds an Edison Fellowship from the British Library for her ongoing research into jazz recordings and will work closely with the JISC-funded Archival Sound Recordings team throughout the duration of the start-up programme. She is a member of the Executive Boards of Jazz Services and the British Association of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles. JazzHub Project Manager (0.5FTE, to be advertised in September 2007 and appointed from January 2008) will work with the Head of Centre for Jazz Studies in the design and implementation stages of JazzHub, following the project’s initial phases of infrastructural development etc. The project manager will have a background in the management of digital repositories and will liaise directly with JISC, its supported partners, and other UK repository staff. JazzHub Archivist, Claire Marsh, (0.5FTE LCM post) will be responsible for the cataloguing and curation of the Jazz Archive. Claire Marsh is a key member of the Library and Learning Resources Team at LCM and a founder member of the Jazz Research Network steering committee. She offers advice on preservation, curation and collections management. JazzHub e-learning studentship for Russ Hepworth-Sawyer, LCM’s Industry Partnerships Manager (to commence September 2007, LCM funded EdD in e-learning): the studentship will be used to support a doctoral programme of study into e-learning, and will focus on using JazzHub as a learning resource, developing links between research, teaching and learning. Russ Hepworth-Sawyer will also work in conjunction with the JazzHub Project Manager to devise and implement education projects based around the resource.

Dr Tony Whyton Head of Research & Enterprise Leeds College of Music 3 Quarry Hill Leeds LS2 7PD Utrecht, 17 November 2006 Dear Dr. Whyton, Thank you very much for your proposal for ‘JazzHub’, which I have read with great interest. Overlooking the professional music training sector from a European perspective, I find your initiative highly interesting. While research in classical music has been strongly developed over the years, the research in jazz should receive more attention and that is why I do think your proposal is so relevant. The main attraction of your initiative is its high level of access, which could also (and maybe this is something you could mention in the proposal) be extended beyond the UK to partners in Europe. Various platforms at the European level already exist, such as the International Association of Schools of Jazz and the Pop & Jazz Platform of the AEC, for which ‘JazzHub’ could be of great interest. I therefore fully support your proposal and would like to recommend your initiative to any organisation that could help developing ‘JazzHub’ into reality. I would also like to ask you to keep the AEC informed about any further developments in relation to this interesting initiative. Best regards,
Martin Prchal Chief Executive European Association of Conservatoires (AEC)

16 November 2006 Joint Information Systems Committee Dear Sir/Madam JazzHub Leeds College of Music is a key organisation in Yorkshire and provides high quality undergraduate, postgraduate, and widening participation courses for a broad range of students. In addition the college is a key partner in some of the region’s strongest music activity – such as the FUSELEEDS festival which has been supported by Arts Council England, Yorkshire. The JazzHub project is engaging and likely to complement these activities strongly. The college is a market leader in jazz education and the resource is likely to have great benefits locally, regionally, and nationally for the wider jazz infrastructure. If you would like any further information please don’t hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely Andrew Herbert Music Officer 01924 486210 [email protected]

Dr Tony Whyton Director of Research and Enterprise Leeds College of Music 3 Quarry Hill Leeds LS2 7PD 21 November 2006 Dear Tony Re: Proposal to the JISC for JazzHub I write to indicate the enthusiastic support of Yorkshire Universities for this very exciting project, which should see the further enhancement of the contribution which the Leeds College of Music makes to regional, UK and world culture. It is part of the beauty and value of jazz music that it is difficult to define. However, this also makes it hard for agencies to support and develop its impact and enjoyment. Creating a scholarly, yet accessible infrastructure with international importance and local presence will provide a locus for engagement with other institutions in the region, nationally and internationally. I believe support from the JISC would be fitting and invaluable for this project and we would wish to continue to work with Leeds College of Music to ensure that our other members and stakeholders across the region involve themselves in this extremely worthwhile project. With best wishes Yours sincerely
Michael Noble Chief Executive Officer

20 November 2006 Dr Tony Whyton Head of Research & Enterprise Leeds College of Music 3 Quarry Hill Leeds LS2 7PD Dear Tony Whyton The JazzHub I am writing to endorse the bid to create the JazzHub based at Leeds College of Music. As the principle regional agency for jazz development, we see The JazzHub becoming a key resource to our musicians and enthusiasts, especially with the broadened availability of materials. This is at the heart of the JazzYorkshire mission to develop the genre.
We believe that the JazzHub would add welcome weight to our region in support of its growing reputation as a magnet for everyone interested in Jazz - past, present and future. Yours sincerely Robert Gibson Chairman JazzYorkshire

DR TONY WHYTON Head of Research & Enterprise
Leeds College of Music [email protected]
PERSONAL STATEMENT I am an experienced educational manager with a developing international research profile and significant strategic and project management experience. My research interests include jazz and contemporary musics, critical musicology, the cultural influence of recordings and interdisciplinary approaches to music. I have played a major role in the development of a research culture at Leeds College of Music, and am used to working across a range of degree programmes. I thrive in a dynamic and eclectic academic environment and seek to place my work within music’s broader social and cultural contexts. EXPERIENCE During the nine years I have been in post at Leeds College of Music, my role has changed significantly, further details of which are outlined below. The College has undergone major expansion and development during this period, including the construction of three new buildings, sector transfer, and a substantial portfolio of new courses. I have played a strategic role in several key developments, including the following: • Spearheading the development of research at LCM - I have played a key role in the
permanent development of LCM’s Research Committee and funding infrastructure, the launch of LCM’s internationally refereed journal, the source, to be published as the Jazz Research Journal (Equinox) in 2007, and the creation of LCM’s Centre for Jazz Studies UK.
• Successful design and implementation of new undergraduate and postgraduate
degree programmes - these programmes ranged from four undergraduate programmes to two Master’s level courses. All new programmes represented a significant expansion of the College’s provision into new areas, including jazz and contemporary music, and music at postgraduate level.
• Refocusing Leeds International Jazz Conference into an international research
event - the event is now a unique, high profile conference, welcoming delegates and speakers from c.20 countries each year. My role has been to devise and implement research content, steer the event strategically and to oversee fundraising from a range of sources, including British Academy, PRS Foundation, IAJE, JazzYorkshire and Jazz Services.
• Redesign of the Historical, Critical and Analytical Studies curriculum - one of my
first tasks in post was to overhaul this whole subject area within our undergraduate provision. I introduced interdisciplinary models and methodologies, and instigated cross-curricular teaching between jazz and classical music programmes.
