"Under Jazz Is Dead, younger artists are elaborating upon conversations started decades ago; jazz icons are utilizing vintage equipment to create new masters with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad; the same equipment that recorded their coveted catalogs. The vitality embedded in the new masters epitomizes our quest for new life in music: Jazz Is Dead." https://jazzisdead.bandcamp.com/ "Ballad 'The Gardens' is a gorgeous slowed-down piece of Latin Soul, reminiscent of Saracho’s early mentor Cal Tjader, with Saracho’s piano driving the emotional course." https://bit.ly/3GI0zdn

New Music! While they are best known for working alongside some of the most recognizable names in jazz, Jazz Is Dead now invites you to meet an innovator that has largely gone unheard of, until now. Garrett Saracho is a fourth generation Los Angeleno of San Carlos Apache and Mexican descent, with a recording output that spans genres, labels, and decades. Perhaps best known for the mysterious 1973 LP "En Medio", he has recorded numerous other projects that blend pop, electronic, r&b, and indigenous music traditions. After spending nearly fifty years away from the music industry, Garrett Saracho makes his return on Jazz Is Dead with a collection of shapeshifting tunes that hop from one style or tempo to another with shocking ease. Blending together Latin Soul and Psychedelic Rock influences alongside his enduring love for jazz, JID015 is a tribute to the enduring ties and cultural dialogues between genres, and to the perseverance of a musician who once stood on the precipice of stardom, now receiving his long overdue acclaim.
