Abstract

In this contribution Matthias Heyman takes a look at some facets of artistic property in jazz. These range from the quotation of other people’s compositions in the artist’s own improvisations to “borrowing” existing chord progressions in order to write new pieces. He makes it clear that the boundaries of intellectual property in jazz are exceptionally fluid, and are particularly difficult to regulate.
