(Isstories Editorial):- Norwalk, Connecticut Aug 10, 2023 (Issuewire.com) – The SRG/ILS group is excited to announce the launch of our new imprint, SRG Jazz. At its core Jazz was always a multi-genre hybrid, and our foundation in Soul, R&B, Gospel, and Blues music naturally leans itself to this new endeavor. SRG Jazz looks to continue the development of this innately American art form by partnering with musicians who want to fully participate in their careers and their recordings, empowering new and established artists to take Jazz into the new century and beyond. With an understanding that artists must participate in the ownership of their own recordings, true partnerships can exist between creators and businesses if everyone has the same goal; to elevate the art form. With SRG/ILS’s long relationship with the Universal Music Group, SRG Jazz creates an international platform for artists to have their music heard and experienced.
