Het College vindt de organisatie goed voor jaarlijks 200.000 euro. Dat bedrag was ook aanvankelijk ge- vraagd. Directrice Mijke Loeven is blij met het besluit getuige haar reactie op de website van RTV Rijnmond: "Wij kun- nen als dit door gaat blijven bestaan! Kunst en cultuur maakt ons leven draag- lijk. Als je iemand verliest is vaak het eerste dat je doet een stuk muziek pak- ken dat aan die persoon doet denken.” Ook Jazzpodium Bird, door de adviseurs op de reservebank geplaatst, mag van het College subsidie ontvangen. Jaarlijks 224.500 euro (gevraagd: 252.000 euro). Verder voorziet het Cultuurplan van B&W in een jaarlijkse subsidie voor North Sea Round Town (71.000 euro). Voor het Nieuw Rotterdams Jazz Orchestra week het College niet af van het advies. Het verliest zijn subsidie van 50.000 euro.

A crossover work in this style creates unique challenges for the performer because it requires the person to have experience in both performance practices. The research on musical works in this style is limited. Furthermore, the research on the sections of improvisation found in this sonata is limited to general performance considerations. In my own study of this work, and due to the performance problems commonly associated with the improvisation sections, I found that there is a need for a more detailed analysis focusing on how to practice, develop, and perform the improvised solos in this sonata. This document, therefore, is a performer’s guide to the sections of improvisation found in the 1997 revised edition of Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano by Phil Woods.
