I am super excited because I can finally talk about a project I’ve been working on for many months!
The new online record store for EVERYTHING JAZZ is now live. I’ve created and executed its editorial and content strategy. Store is CA only for now, but stories can be accessed from anywhere.
On the site, you can read in-depth pieces on:
- How Nina Simone became an icon of the Civil Rights Movement (by Jeffrey Boakye)
- When „Tone Poet“ Joe Harley met Darrel Sheinman of Gearbox to talk Blue Note reissues and Rudy Van Gelder’s magic (by Stephan Kunze)
- The art of jazz harp – from Dorothy Ashby to Brandee Younger (by Freya Hellier)
- How Terry Clarke sat in to play with John Coltrane one evening in 1965 (by Daniel Spicer)
- Reconnecting with classic albums by Ahmad Jamal, Norah Jones, Madlib and Robert Glasper (by Stephan Kunze, Daniel Spicer, and Shannon J. Effinger)
- A sashay through the late Astrud Gilberto’s discography (by Jane Cornwell)
- Artist profiles for all-female jazz collective Artemis, neo-soul trailblazer Meshell Ndegeocello and #jazztok sensation Samara Joy (by Sharonne Cohen, Stephan Kunze, and Freya Hellier)
Much more to come. The journey has just started.
