Yes. Elizabeth Music Group Publishing can represent qualifying instrumental jazz musicians, composers, producers, and songwriters for their publishing.
Instrumental jazz compositions can generate publishing royalties even when there are no vocals or lyrics. Original melodies, harmonies, chord structures, and other compositional elements can form an underlying musical work with publishing rights separate from the master recording.
This is especially important for prolific jazz musicians. A composer might release original singles, albums, collaborative projects, improvisation-based recordings, or music through multiple labels throughout their career. Over time, this can result in dozens or hundreds of compositions that need to be properly documented and represented.
Elizabeth Music Group Publishing works with instrumental music catalogs and can provide worldwide publishing representation for qualifying musicians. We can help organize and register compositions, maintain writer and ownership information, collect eligible publishing royalties from pay sources around the world, and review older releases for potential gaps.
We can also work alongside a musician's existing PRO. Membership with a PRO is an important part of collecting publishing royalties, but having a PRO does not necessarily mean every potential source of publishing income worldwide is being covered.
For jazz musicians with extensive catalogs, we can look beyond the newest release. For example, Elizabeth Music Group Publishing works with instrumental label Hausnation, whose catalog includes more than 1,000 songs. Another example of a jazz musician Elizabeth Music Group Publishing represents is LOFI jazz saxophonist Malosax. Managing publishing at that scale requires looking at the catalog as a whole rather than treating every release as an isolated track.
Instrumental jazz can also be suitable for sync licensing across film, television, advertising, documentaries, hospitality, and other media. Sync placements are never guaranteed, but Elizabeth Music Group Publishing clients receive access to our exclusive Discord community only available to our publishing roster, where we distribute sync briefs and other creative opportunities.
Whether you create traditional jazz, contemporary jazz, jazz fusion, smooth jazz, LOFI jazz, jazzhop, instrumental jazz, or music that blends jazz with other genres, your compositions may have publishing rights worth representing.
If you are an instrumental jazz musician or composer with an established or growing catalog, Elizabeth Music Group Publishing can review your music, PRO affiliation, IPI information, catalog size, and current publishing situation to determine whether we may be able to represent your compositions globally.
