Career Development & Strategy

50-year veteran manager, producer, project director, strategist Marty Khan has pioneered the use of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit for jazz artists and professionals since the early 1980s – a few years before jazz was brought into the performing arts world mainstream.

Setting up a 501(c)(3)

In this consultation, Marty works with the client to conceive the concept and purposes, the potential projects to be addressed, the manner of artist affiliation, the assembly of the proper board members, name of organization and a full overview of the organizational imperative.

Strategic Planning/Management Consulting

Single sessions are best if there is a specific issue that needs to be addressed; or if someone is just trying to make sense out of the nonsense in a more overview perspective; or just trying to figure out what their next steps should be.

Press Release & Bio Services

The first interaction that presenters, critics, and potential collaborators often have with your music is a press release or your bio. While not fair, writings that come off as boiler-plate, standard, “the usual”, or even half-assed and boring will unfortunately brandish your music the same way. Music so full of Truth, power, and soul demands to be presented with the same qualities, lest it be cast off and ignored.

Dispelling the Myths About Non-Profits Part 2

The three criteria Marty has for taking someone on in an ongoing relationship are:

  1. He has to believe in their commitment and seriousness of pursuit (nothing to do with whether or not he is personally into their art)

  2. He has to like them enough to know that we can get along and work productively

  3. He has to know that he can help
