It is a genre that never died. It just changed addresses. This playlist is proof that the genre is very much alive in the hands of a new generation of artists who grew up on everything from hip hop to classical music and brought all of it into the jazz tradition. From intimate vocal performances to genre-bending fusion, these tracks represent the new sound of jazz, one that feels both familiar and completely fresh. Let this be your introduction to the voices shaping jazz right now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/X03lvK7qoco?si=nZuL6qmdFNSmZyBk\" target=\"_blank\">Samara Joy &#8211; &#8220;Guess Who I Saw Today&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/k5sHRF5OBTA?si=wposCgqWLtPMyRIU\">Lizzie Berchie &#8211; &#8220;We Found Love&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/b_uQH3Prt8Y?si=jwC0dA_tnFk23ALW\" target=\"_blank\">BrandonLee Cierley ft.
