JAZZ IS DEAD (VINYL)

Music exists in movement and change, but before
any part of it can be pinned down for analysis, it's
often moved and taken on a new face. The
transformation is often driven by culture as
forward-thinking people avoid the proverbial paths in
search of revolution. Even though our pioneers
prophesied that the revolution would not be
televised, the message has permeated. It's spreading
like wildfire and leaders are defined by those that
speak first: Jazz Is Dead.
Music is the universal language and we are the
interpreter of sound, a message that has been lost in
transcription. Under Jazz Is Dead, younger artists are
elaborating upon conversations started decades ago;
jazz icons are utilizing vintage equipment to create
new masters with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed
Muhammad; the same equipment that recorded their
coveted catalogs. The vitality embedded in the new
masters epitomizes our quest for new life in music:
Jazz Is Dead.
This compilation features legendary artists Roy
Ayers, Gary Bartz, Marcos Valle, Azymuth, Doug
Carn, Joao Donato, & Brian Jackson, who will each
have their own individual release, working alongside
Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.
