Get jazzed!

(Press release)

jazzed, the world’s first dedicated audio-visual streaming destination for jazz, has today announced details of a brand-new add-on service which will offer its subscribers exclusive access to livestream concerts from a selection of the greatest jazz clubs in the world.

Set to revolutionize the live jazz club industry, jazzed Live will work with leading jazz clubs to connect jazz artists with jazz fans around the globe through a state-of-the-art digital live streaming platform.  To date, jazzed Live has confirmed concerts at The Jazz Café in London, Berlin’s A-Trane and Gregory’s Jazz Club in Rome with more clubs globally to follow. The full jazzed Club Network will commercially launch October this year.

 

Jazzed Live launches with UK pianist and composer Bill Laurance performing solo at London’s Jazz Café on International Jazz Day, 30 April at 8pm BST, with the livestream available exclusively to jazzed+ subscribers.

 

jazzed CEO Jonathan Arendt:

We are excited about the evolution of jazzed. With jazzed Live we are bringing performances from the best jazz clubs around the world directly to jazz fans and establishing new incremental revenues for both clubs and artists.”

 

Having recently launched its iOS on-demand service, jazzed has proven a huge hit and has fast become one of the most-talked-about new streaming platforms, offering an Aladdin’s cave for jazz, soul and blues fans with a library of over 10 million tracks, thousands of videos and articles.

 

jazzed is a subscription service and currently provides two tiers:

 

  • jazzed - an ad-funded freemium tier with 10 audio channels and comprehensive video and editorial offering
  • jazzed+ - a premium tier priced at £5.99 a month which offers a deeper curated experience of 50+ audio channels and an extensive choice of video and editorial including access to the jazz Live network. Full on-demand search and play is currently included with over 10 million tracks available.

 

jazzed was co-founded by former Jazz FM boss Jonathan Arendt (CEO), digital tech music pioneer Frank Taubert (COO) and former Bertelsmann and Sony Music executive Marcel Engh (CMO).
