Redefining the Sound of Now

Published by KL Publishing Group, Jazz Influencers is a groundbreaking print magazine spotlighting the trailblazers, legends, and boundary-pushers shaping jazz in today’s world. From Grammy-winning artists to viral innovators, each issue amplifies voices on stage, online, and beyond.

The inaugural issue features keyboardist and fusion icon Dan Farrow on the cover, alongside powerful stories like our Roy Ayers tribute, an exploration of Art Blakey’s legacy, and a provocative look at AI’s impact on improvisation. Readers will also discover YouTube jazz sensations, a behind-the-scenes guide to DIY touring, gear insights, and Bunny Brunel’s Low End Logic column.

We go beyond the music to address real-world challenges in the jazz space—touring, tone, visibility, fashion, and equity. From candid commentary to compelling visuals, Jazz Influencers is your essential link to the evolution of the genre.
