"As an
industry leader in jazz, Concord wants to make this great music more accessible
to new and casual fans while helping aficionados explore jazz's rich sub-genres
more deeply," said Concord Chief Development Officer, Marc Morgenstern. "Stylus™ is all about discovery."
Concord
Music Group designed, developed and will maintain Stylus™; however the Stylus™ music
library is pulled from a broad spectrum of the best jazz titles currently
available on Spotify without regard to label affiliation. The initial Stylus™
collection of over
1,200 jazz titles features both essential and lesser known recordings from a
wide range of subgenres such as big band/swing, bebop, jazz-fusion, vocal and
contemporary jazz, among many others. Originators
such as Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton, classic influencers like Charlie
Parker, John Coltrane and Miles Davis along with modern-day stars such as
Robert Glasper and Christian Scott are all well represented.
In addition, Concord is pleased to
partner with the esteemed, influential publication JazzTimes who will provide regular app updates of the most
noteworthy new jazz releases, while also serving as a co-marketing partner.
"We're excited to be a part of this
innovative app created by Concord for Spotify," said JazzTimes publisher, Lee Mergner. "Whether it's providing
recommendations for the most interesting new releases or sharing Artist's
Choice playlists from the publication, JazzTimes
is committed to supporting this app that is certain to enhance the listening
experience for jazz and music fans."
Users can access Stylus™ via the app tab
on free and premium Spotify accounts.
