SRG Jazz

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. At its core Jazz was always a multi-genre hybrid.

Our foundation in Soul, R&B, Gospel, Blues music naturally leant itself to this endeavor. With an understanding that artists must participate in the ownership of their own recordings, true partnerships can exist between creators and business if everyone has the same goals; 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.

SRG Jazz is a division of The SRG/ILS Group and The SoNo Recording Group partnered with Virgin Music (Universal Music Group) worldwide. CEO of both companies, Claude Villani, identified an opportunity within Jazz to not only work with some of the most talented musicians writing and performing today, but also to engage and challenge the genre.
