Run Jazz in the North? Surely not – it runs itself pretty well at present. Loads of jazz and improvised music venues, good networks such as Norvoljazz, masses of bands and musicians, two conservatoires and 11 eleven jazz festivals at the last count. So what is the business plan? What will this person actually do? That salary alone could help 20 jazz clubs keep going!
