He is a regular contributor to guitar magazines and published about Juan Bermudo, Frank Martin, François de Fossa, Agustín Barrios, Oscar Esplá, and Isaac Albéniz. His editions contain Mazurkas by Chopin, the violin concerto and songs by Fernando Sor, duets by Haydn/de Fossa and a Sonata by Weiss.

Jan has written several books, the most recent being the biography ‘Boris Perott – A life with the guitar’ about the Russian/British guitarist (1882-1958)
