Inside the zine, readers will find a curated list of the 25 best piano albums of all time, compiled with the insight and expertise of pianists Jeff Goldblum, Gerald Clayton, and Harold López-Nussa. There’s also a thoughtful essay by singer and broadcaster Jumoké Fashola, who explores the art of the singer-pianist, from Jon Batiste to Nina Simone, musicians who can make the piano truly swing.
True to the Posterzine® format, the publication folds out from an A4 zine filled with rich stories and imagery into a collectible A1 poster. It remains uniquely special in the print world as the only poster registered with the British Library as a magazine, a testament to its hybrid identity as both print object and art piece.
Everything Jazz extends thanks to their creative partners at Posterzine®, whose innovative print format continues to blur the boundaries between magazine and art collectible.
