Applied Jazz Research
Wouter Turkenburg, Leiden, The Netherlands and Kurt Ellenberger, Grand Rapids, MI, USA
Most jazz research follow the footsteps of research in classical music. The methods of musicology, stemming from the mid 19th century, are the dominant ones. Jazz, with improvisation and swing as main characteristics, asks for a different kind of research: applied jazz research. Research in jazz, in order to have any value, is connected with performance and education in jazz.
The IASJ, in collaboration with Grand Valley State University Libraries, will publish the IASJ Jazz Research Journal. The first issue is planned for Spring 2022.
