Music Universal Music Group\u2019s betting big on jazz with a slate of reissues as well as the official debut of an Everything Jazz digital platform and online store. <\/strong><\/h2>\nSpecifically part of the major\u2019s Global Classics & Jazz division, the newly expanded Everything Jazz counts longtime Universal Music higher-up Tina Poyser as its vice president.<\/p>\n
Developed \u201cin partnership\u201d with UMG subsidiaries including Blue Note, Verve, and Impulse!, Everything Jazz now features a webstore offering physical releases and merch from new talent and \u201ccultural icons\u201d alike.<\/p>\n
Those products include a vinyl edition of Miles Davis\u2019 Birth of the Cool <\/em>compilation (which ships with a studio-session lithograph print of the jazz mainstay \u2013 \u201conly available at Everything Jazz\u201d) and a cassette version of John Coltrane\u2019s A Love Supreme<\/em> (which \u201creturns to cassette for the first time in 40 years\u201d), to name a couple.<\/p>\nThen there\u2019s a collection of signed albums from contemporary<\/a> professionals, a selection of exclusive merch-vinyl bundles, an \u201cexclusives and coloured vinyl\u201d section, a Verve Vault hub, and \u2013 well, you get the idea.<\/p>\nBack to the initially mentioned reissues, following the early 2025 rollout of the Verve Record Club \u201cbespoke vinyl subscription for jazz enthusiasts,\u201d the namesake label group today unveiled a well-populated Verve Vault release schedule covering the remainder of 2026.<\/p>\n
Without rattling off each of these planned \u201cdefinitive, all-analog 180-gram vinyl pressings\u201d here, May is expected to bring Marcos Valle\u2019s Samba \u201968<\/em>, with Cal Tjader\u2019s The Prophet <\/em>teed up for June, The Individualism of Gil Evans <\/em>confirmed as one of three July reissues, and George Benson\u2019s Giblet Gravy <\/em>poised to become available in August.<\/p>\nShifting from the online store to the \u201cdigital platform\u201d side, Everything Jazz also houses (Re)Discover Jazz, billed as a free 20-lesson \u201conline course in jazz music and culture.\u201d <\/strong><\/h4>\nUnsurprisingly, said course isn\u2019t subtle about encouraging learners to purchase a product or three. But overall, there appears to be a good bit of worthwhile information in and depth to the resource.<\/p>\n
Enter the \u201ctrusted editorial\u201d component of Everything Jazz. Though it didn\u2019t take very long for Warner Music to offload<\/a> Uproxx, HipHopDX, and Dime Magazine under CEO Robert Kyncl, UMG\u2019s evidently employing a different approach by equipping Everything Jazz with \u201ca dedicated team of curators, writers, editors, and producers.\u201d<\/p>\nThat team\u2019s conducting interviews, penning articles (\u201cJazz and India,\u201d \u201cThe Making of Miles Davis\u2019 Birth of the Cool<\/em>,\u201d etc.), and more. Additionally, Everything Jazz is partnering with various jazz festivals and events.<\/p>\n\u201cThe response to Everything Jazz from both fans and artists shows how vital jazz is today, as both a growing, global movement and through thriving local scenes around the world,\u201d VP Tina Poyser added.<\/h4>\n
\u201cThe future of jazz is deeply entwined with its fascinating history and diverse recorded legacy, and the expansion of Everything Jazz reflects both the depth of the catalogue and fans\u2019 enduring passion for quality and excellence,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
