Adult Swim releases jazz compilation 'New Jazz Century' featuring Jessica Ackerley, Colin Stetson, and Yazz Ahmed

Adult Swim have dropped a new jazz compilation titled New Jazz Century.

Unveiled today, the 15-track compilation features a slew of fresh jazz musicians shaking things up, including Jessica Ackerley, Colin Stetson, and Yazz Ahmed. In a statement, Adult Swim producer Luke Rhodes said:

"Jazz is an influence that's always been in the background of the sorts of music we play on Adult Swim, particularly electronic and hip hop. But we've only recently started bringing that influence into the foreground. A compilation seemed like an opportunity to bring jazz more into the spotlight, as well as to introduce our audience to some modern currents in the jazz scene. We tried to narrow it down to a group that showed how much diversity is in the genre today, both in terms of who is playing jazz and what they're doing with the form."

The compilation can be streamed below.
