Jazz Influencers Magazine – Issue 1 (April 2025) by KL Publishing Group
The sound of now. The voices of tomorrow.

Welcome to the debut issue of Jazz Influencers, the print magazine spotlighting the artists, innovators, and disruptors who are changing jazz—on stage, online, and beyond. Our cover story features Dan Farrow, the genre-blurring keyboardist and guitarist whose journey from Zurich to the Grammy stage embodies the fusion of soul, funk, and jazz artistry.

Inside this inaugural edition, you’ll find powerful storytelling, performance insights, and bold commentary for a new era of jazz. We honor the life, music, and legacy of Roy Ayers—vibraphonist, innovator, and eternal groove architect—in a soulful visual tribute. We revisit the legacy of Art Blakey, exploring his deep influence as a bandleader, mentor, and hard bop pioneer. Ron Carter’s Foursight Quartet gets a poetic spotlight with reflections on his powerful live performance at Catalina Jazz Club, capturing the grace, depth, and quiet authority of one of jazz’s most enduring legends. In a provocative feature, we ask whether artificial intelligence is transforming or threatening the improvisational heart of jazz.

The Grammy Spotlight section celebrates jazz excellence at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, including standout wins from Chick Corea and Béla Fleck, Zaccai Curtis, Xhosa Cole, Samara Joy, and others. Samara also returns in a dual album review, where her holiday release is paired with the edgy, experimental MYT by Berlin’s Moses Yoofee Trio—two wildly different records, both on fire.

In “The Rise of Jazz YouTube Sensations,” we highlight digital-era trailblazers including Jihye Lee, Laufey, Charles Cornell, and Emmet Cohen, redefining how jazz reaches new generations—one stream, one reharmonization at a time.

For working musicians, our DIY Touring Guide delivers real-world advice on building independent tours, with insights from artists like Diana Krall and Esperanza Spalding. The Jazz Cat’s Gear Guide outlines essential tools for the modern improviser—from instruments and mics to accessories that enhance tone and performance.

We present a bold editorial on women in jazz, telling the often-erased stories of Astrud Gilberto, Sandra Booker, and Barbara Morrison. We also debut our new stagewear and style column, led by Kaylene Peoples, with real talk on body positivity, performance confidence, and dressing for impact on and off stage.

We introduce Low End Logic, a new column by Bunny Brunel, where the bass icon breaks down groove philosophy and shares decades of fusion wisdom. Then, we turn to rhythm and image with our feature on Daru Jones and Snow Milk, unveiling a limited-edition drum kit that blends expression, design, and streetwear.

Finally, style takes the stage in Styled to Play, our performance fashion guide for women and men. From undergarments to jackets, Kaylene Peoples answers questions about dressing with confidence—because how you show up is part of how you play.

Jazz Influencers is a KL Publishing Group publication, created to spotlight the sound of now and the stories shaping tomorrow’s jazz.

Whether you're a jazz musician, student, educator, or passionate fan, Jazz Influencers is your new essential. The sound is changing. This is where you’ll hear it first.
