We decided to build this subscription service as a way to continue building a community for Jazz Is Dead. This is an incredibly important body of work, birthed from a uniquely Los Angeles movement. 100% analog recordings with our musical heroes, recorded in Linear Labs studios, composed and produced by Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.

This subscription is a way for our fans to become our family. To hear about new releases first, to receive exclusive music, discounts on merchandise, behind the scenes content and more. We know there are audiophiles and record collectors that would love to get their hands on very limited test pressings. We know there are people that might not want anything in return, but just want to see us continue to release these recordings and want to support this movement to continue.

TIER 1: $10/month
Subscribers in this tier receive all new releases, back-catalog items, exclusive subscriber music, photos, videos and more.

TIER 2: $25/month
1 New Jazz Is Dead LP and CD every 2 months (4-6/year)

TIER 3: $60/month
1 New Jazz Is Dead Test Pressing every 2 months (4-6/year)

Thank you for joining the family. For years, this service has been a dream of ours and you are directly supporting our future. Feel free to reach out about any comments or suggestions you have that can improve our service. No question goes unanswered. Also...send me any suggestions of jazz icons we should record with for the series. I know there are people we are overlooking. But again, welcome to the Jazz Is Dead family. Glad to have you here.
