NORSK JAZZFORLAG
At last - a Norwegian jazz publishing company
Music books and text books a.o.
Norsk Jazzforlag became reality after an idea from Hilde Hefte. When doing some research, looking for already published Norwegian jazz, she discovered that our jazz heritage was sadly neglected. Once she had the idea, the project became a reality very quickly.
We are publishing music books containing original compositions by the great jazz musicians and composers in Norway. Music like this should not be forgotten - everybody should have the opportunity to get to know this superb music.
It is our wish and great privilege to give Norwegian jazz musicians and composers the tribute they deserve and to share our rich jazz heritage with all!
We are also publishing text-books written by our Norwegian jazz-musicians.Hilde Hefte

A little bit more info:
This company is a small company where all the sheet-music is written in programs like Finale and Sibelius by one person, who does this for free. The design and printing is done by professionals; and they are of course not doing this for free. BUT because of how we work we're able to publish some great music which wouldn't have been published unless we didn't do it this way. Sheet music doesn't sell much, but that's why it's so important to publish music like this, for the next generation to inherit!
