He will also cover what individual artists need to do to secure and protect the ownership rights of their music under the recently passed Music Modernization Act (MMA). \nAbout Ken Hatfield: the musician\, author and activist \nA leading proponent of jazz played on the classical guitar\, composer KEN HATFIELD received ASCAP‘s prestigious Vanguard Award in 2006 for “innovative and distinctive music that is charting new directions in jazz.” \nKen’s the leader on 10 commercially released CDs\, 9 featuring him performing his original compositions\, as a soloist or with his ensembles. He’s published six books of his compositions. In 2005 Mel Bay published his comprehensive instructional book Jazz and the Classical Guitar: Theory and Application and in 2017 included two of his compositions in Contemporary Guitar Composers of the Americas. \nKen’s compositional experience ranges from jazz works for his own ensembles\, to solo classical guitar works\, choral works\, and ballet scores for Judith Jamison\, The Washington Ballet Company\, and the Maurice Béjart Ballet Company\, as well as scores for television and film\, including Eugene Richards’ award-winning documentary but\, the day came. \nKen continues to lead his own ensembles and be an in-demand sideman. In recent years he has also become an artist rights activist\, serving as co-chair of the Artist Rights Caucus of Local 802 and as a member of the Advisory Committee of Musicians for Musicians (MFM). In April 2019 he participated in the United States Copyright Office’s fifth and final roundtable on reform of section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. \n
