FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Jazz Is Here documents how this music actually gets made — in conversation with the
musicians making it in New York right now. Established masters and players building their
careers. Documentaries, intimate conversations, and listening
sessions.
Most of what exists about jazz is either promotional or academic. This is neither. It’s the
working life of the music: who these people are, how they work, and what they are creating.
A quarter of everything the platform earns goes directly to the artists who appear on it.
Members send the questions and join them live after premieres — so subscribers
aren’t buying access to a library. They’re funding the record of this era as it’s being made.
Our platform is accessible on smartphones and desktops/laptops. We are currently developing apps for Smart TVs as well.
