We’re making the case for every session player, studio musician, and backup singer who’s had a song played on AM/FM radio and never got paid for it.
Let’s pass the American Music Fairness Act.

It's not fair…and it's not hard to fix. Pass the American Music Fairness Act and get artists paid.

Our boy @camdenstewarts performs his original composition, “Transcendence”.
Really enchanting.

Today, we honor the legendary Howlin’ Wolf.
A Chicago Blues icon, he was a phenomenal singer, songwriter, guitarist, and harmonica player whose influence on the Blues is unmatched. His work laid the foundation for countless musicians around the globe. John Lee Hooker deeply admired him and even covered his track, “I Didn’t Know.”

Living tributes are the best kind. As Old and New Dreams was to Ornette, Air Legacy Trio is to Henry Threadgill. Marty Ehrlich, Hilliard Greene & Pheeroan akLaff (latter who worked in New Air) bring to life one of improv music’s greatest trios at Performace Space NY. #NYCWJF

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of drummer Roy Haynes.
In a career lasting over 80 years, Haynes has influenced and innovated, shaping some of the greatest recordings in jazz while altering the very fabric and direction of jazz improvisation with his mercurial, intelligent, joyous drumming.
Nicknamed “Snap Crackle” for his punchy snare and cymbal patterns, Haynes’ style was characterized by crispness and finesse, as well as a tremendous sense of drive. His playing has never sounded dated. On the contrary, in every decade he has been associated with musicians on the cutting edge, having worked with such artists as Lester Young and Charlie Parker in the 1940s, Bud Powell, Sarah Vaughan and Thelonious Monk in the ‘50s, Stan Getz and Gary Burton in the ‘60s, Chick Corea in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and Pat Metheny in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
His bands have included some of the more exceptional young musicians on the scene, ranging from his Hip Ensemble to his various quartets.
