The new 32-page issue of the bi-monthly magazine JazzUK, available online from today, carries a statement from Jazz Services Director Chris Hodgkins about the future of the JazzUK/Jazz Services listings activity and announces the formation of a close collaboration with Jazzwise. It reads as follows:

“Jazz Services and Jazzwise magazine will be working together on a new UK jazz gig guide. This partnership will greatly increase access to Jazz Services’ listings by making them available monthly (we can currently only publish them bi-monthly) in print in Jazzwise magazine and as a monthly downloadable version in its much-loved existing format – with the valued sponsorship of Pizza Express – at both jazzservices.org.uk and jazzwisemagazine.com and via apps for the iPhone,iPad and Android platforms. We’ll be making a few more changes to protect our frontline services but rest assured that JazzUK will not only continue to roll off the presses but by switching to online listings will be able to devote more space to news, reviews and features, so look out for a bumper read next issue.”
