A Genre that merges the songwriting craft of the Great American Songbook era with modern influences from jazz, folk, pop and soul
A Movement that honors melody, lyricism, harmonic depth and emotional storytelling while embracing cross-genre creativity
A Community of living jazz singers and jazz singer-songwriters who embody an intersection of genres rather than being confined to a singular style

Nicole Zuraitis, two-time GRAMMY-winning jazz singer-songwriter, educator and advocate
We advocate for the recognition, education and celebration of jazz singer-songwriters through performance, publication and institutional support. We promote the performance of songs written by living artists in an effort to build community, support composers, and expand our vocal repertoire.
We champion a global community of jazz singers and jazz singer-songwriters who create original, genre-blending music that transcends traditional industry boundaries.
We celebrate, preserve and evolve the timeless craft of songwriting by uniting the lyrical richness and melodic sophistication of the Great American Songbook with the spirit, influence and innovation of contemporary jazz, folk, pop and soul.
