JAZZFUEL MANAGER
Get monthly access to tools & support to make building your career and preparing your next release easier
Hi – my name’s Matt Fripp and I’ve worked as a booking agent and manager for jazz musicians for more than 10 years now.
I already host an online course to show you the exact strategies for booking more jazz gigs, but I’m aware that this is only half the battle when it comes to being a DIY musician. There’s a whole other bunch of stuff – usually helped by a manager – that also needs taking care of.
The solution?
This new Jazzfuel Manager platform is designed to give you monthly support on your project via in-depth guides as well as direct feedback from me and industry friends from around the world. So whether you’re planning a new release or just want to make sure that you’re moving in the right direction, get help to do that quicker and more easily…

Are you a jazz musician with no manager?
Maybe some of these sound familiar:
- You’re a little overwhelmed with how to get everything done
- You’re not sure how to plan (and run) a successful pre-release campaign for your next album
- You don’t have long-term goals set for your career
- You’re not connected to the right people inside the industry
- You’re not 100% sure if your ideas and plans are on the right track
- You don’t have a plan for getting press coverage for a ‘new’ project
These are all pretty common, but that doesn’t help get your project growing quicker. It often means that:
- Dealing with the non-playing side of your career continues to be (at best) a struggle and (at worst) ignored.
- Releasing music becomes a last-minute rush
- Promoters, journalists, agents and labels aren’t aware of your project because it’s not getting through to them.
- You miss valuable opportunities to connect your music with industry & fans
- Your gigs or albums don’t get the attention the quality of music deserves.
All this means less sales, less press coverage and less gigs than you might otherwise be getting…
The Solution?
Get help making plans & making progress
One of the biggest benefits of having a manager is knowing that you’re taking care of the basics consistently and that you have a solid plan for moving things forwards. A little support from inside the industry – and some step-by-step advice – can go a long way.
The Jazzfuel Manager provides these things whenever you need them, by giving you monthly access to tools to plan your new releases, video sessions to answer your questions and a forum for support.
Of course, you’re busy making music, so the site is designed so you can dip in and out whenever you want – a bit like how you would call or email a manager as and when you need it.
As a minimum, you might want to:
- Be reassured your plans are solid
- Track your album pre-release progress
- Join a Q&A with me or one of the regular industry guests
- Check (or request) video guides on topics you need help with
- Connect with musicians at a similar stage in the community forum
Here’s exactly what you get inside the Jazzfuel Manager…

WORK THROUGH THE NEW ARTIST CHECKLIST
Regardless of where you’re at, the first thing most managers will do when they take on a new artist is make sure that certain basics are in order. From social media and marketing to gig plans and upcoming releases.
You can replicate this using the custom-built checklist (and ask for support or feedback on any things you’re missing)
