Marty Khanıs Book on the Jazz Business is Now Available
People are always asking me if thereıs a book on the jazz business that I could recommend. Until now Iıve always said no, but with Marty Khanıs new book Straight Ahead: A Comprehensive Guide to the Business of Jazz (Without Sacrificing Dignity or Artistic Integrity), I can finally say yes with complete enthusiasm.
I've known Marty as both a professional and good friend for over 30 years and as do many other jazz musicians and professionals, I know him to be one of the most knowledgeable, committed, able and honest men in the business.
This book contains an enormous amount of information that is essential to every jazz musician and jazz professional. Whether youıre a seasoned veteran, newcomer or student, youıll refer to this book over and over again. Itıs also heavily focused on the highest level of artistry and spirituality, while being easy to read and extremely well-organized for reference. Anybody whoıs read his writings knows how enjoyable and laugh-out-loud funny a writer he is. In addition, the book directly answers almost 200 questions, including detailed information about setting up and using the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
You can view plenty of excerpts, the Table of Contents, the list of the questions answered directly and the official Press Release, along with more information about Marty and Outward Visions at

I highly recommend this book to anybody who works in this business or is looking to work in this business as a musician or professional, as well as anyone who just loves the music.
The book is over 400 pages and is printed on high-quality stock with a laminated cover and costs $50 plus $10 postage and handling (within the U.S.). It can be purchased only through Outward Visions at
