Perspective of presenting organizations

However, it is necessary to put the perspective of the presenting organizations alongside that of the creators so that a complete picture of supply and demand emerges. Therefore, a survey of venues and festivals jazz and world with or without their own venue or grounds is now underway. Including the 45 or so members of the Vereniging Nederlandse Jazzpodia en Jazzfestivals (VNJJ). By comparison. The theaters and concert halls show data each year in a Theater Analysis System (TAS). Pop venues and festivals present an annual Pop Stage Analysis System (PAS). Now a Jazz Analysis System (JAS) is being added.

Finding answers to relevant questions

The study is about finding answers to a number of relevant questions. What is the practice like financially and organizationally? What types of activities are presented for what genres and audience groups plus with what capacity and staffing? What does the cost structure look like and where does the revenue come from?

And above all, to what extent does it succeed in paying musicians fair pay, and what factors make that feasible or difficult?

FairPACCT and the Chain Table can use the results of the study to segment and benchmark. The fair pay gap can be better quantified and also the tables and calculation tool can be refined where necessary. Furthermore, the whole leads to a better substantiation of a policy advice to governments, funds and chain partners which interventions are needed. For example, additional resources, other subsidy schemes or agreements on a premium for fair pay.

If you have not yet been contacted and would still like to participate in the study or share other relevant information. Please email Bureau Knyfe’s principal investigator, Pieter Hunfeld: pieter@knyfe.org .

Feedback public consultation

On Monday, July 22, summer consultation began on a fair pay proposal from the Jazz/World/Contemporary Composers & Musicians chain table. The proposal covered rates for concerts by musicians and composition commissions by composers. On the basis of much and extensive input during the consultation, Bureau KNYFE, in cooperation with the chain table, can now present the ‘Final report on rates for composers and musicians. Outcomes instrument development fair practice for for jazz/world/contemporary.’
