The organising committee met at Amsterdam Conservatory in late September 2016 to reflect on the Birmingham #jazzutopia conference at Easter, and to discuss the theme and call for papers for our 2017 conference…. It will be our fifth, a fact we are quite proud of. Announcement imminent, but for all you jazz and music scholars around the world do note the 2017 dates below! The committee consists of (L-R in photo) Dr Loes Rusch (BCU), Dr Christa-Bruckner-Haring (Graz), Prof Tony Whyton (BCU), Prof Nick Gebhardt (BCU), Prof Walter van de Leur (Amsterdam) and, behind the fuzzbox camera, me.
