Jazz Is Dead

Jazz Is Dead bridges the gap between crate-digging culture and live music by producing new analog recordings with iconic jazz legends for our fast-growing community. Led by Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad,  Jazz Is Dead is redefining how we listen, feel, and think about great music and how we recognize and celebrate the artists and influences that got us here. We curate a unique blend of classic jazz and hip-hop production, featuring collaborations with legends like Roy Ayers, Marcos Valle, and Gary Bartz. Explore jazz - in sound and spirit, live shows and recordings sessions, artist conversations, rare archives, and timeless music. Open ears, open hearts, open minds.
