Looking for: Music featuring Jazz elements across various forms, including vocal-driven or instrumental pieces that capture the essence or spirit of the genre. This can range from traditional Jazz through to more loosely associated forms incorporating Jazz influence. Acceptable styles may include--but are not limited to--Straight-Ahead Jazz, Bebop, Swing, Dixieland, and Smooth Jazz, as well as modern blends that incorporate electronic elements, provided they retain musical integrity and sonic quality.

Live instrumentation is encouraged, though well-produced virtual performances will also be considered. Attention should be given to musicianship, phrasing, and dynamic flow. Pieces that showcase solo improvisation, intricate chord changes, and melodic finesse are ideal. Tempos and moods can vary. Tracks with vintage or contemporary aesthetics are both relevant, as long as the music connects through its rhythmic, harmonic, or instrumental ties to Jazz. Whether it's a smoky lounge groove, a spirited horn section, or a brushed snare with walking bass, the emphasis is on authenticity, feel, and musical command.

Submissions should present clean mixes and professional production values. Songs that could enhance storytelling through their sonic character or capture the texture of a scene with mood and motion are of particular interest.
