Jazz Codes

Jazz Codes cover art

Expanding upon the foundation of 'Black Encyclopedia of the Air', this record serves as a sprawling tribute to the legacy of Black classical and jazz music. The project utilizes a collaborative format featuring numerous instrumentalists and vocalists to create a tapestry of sound that bridges traditional jazz structures with avant-garde electronics. It functions as both a historical archive and a forward-looking exploration of Afrofuturism.
