Jazz Archive of Our Time

We are living in challenging and momentous times. Our shared love and appreciation of jazz, America’s unique Black American art form, brings us together. We believe there is a cathartic way to approach these issues as a community, and we invite you to contribute to the Jazz Archive of Our Time. We are each creating our own narrative in dealing with these challenges, and we invite you to document your experience on this page

In contributing to the archive, any and all of your experiences are important and welcome. This archive is for jazz artists and jazz supporters alike. We welcome your contributions as a way of documenting history, and also as a symbol of our coming together as a community.

Submit your stories, songs, and other files here. For more information, click here.

We need to sit in the discomfort of the racial inequity in order for us to actually do something about it.
