The world's premier black jazz catalog. The decline of mainstream jazz, the saturation of free jazz, and the "death of jazz" brought about by the passing of Coltrane. The new horizon of jazz music that black musicians pioneered in order to survive the chaos of the late 60s and 70s. This is a selection of 615 jazz songs with a soulful, black-blooded atmosphere.
