About The Label:โฃ

With jazz as its source, and the high-flying sounds and youthful exuberance of the greatest classic funk and rock as a guiding philosophy, Jazz Dispensary blurs boundaries and opens minds to the psychoactive potential of music, introducing a new generation to the grooves that elevated the hippest heads of the โ€˜60s and โ€˜70s.

Prestige, Milestone and Fantasy: these names donโ€™t just signify three of the most significant jazz resources, but are signposts leading to layers of ever-deeper musical discovery โ€” overflowing with a bounty of new, immediately ear-catching favorites ripe for the plucking. These legendary labels, active predominantly in the fertile fields of New York and Los Angeles of the late โ€˜60s and early โ€˜70s, were outlets for a new wave of jazz-trained artists whoโ€™d cut their teeth with old school bandleaders but were finally ready to break out on their own and throw off the restraints of by-the-book jazz. Turned on, dialed in and soaked in the tumultuous social milieu of the times, roiled with Vietnam and the Civil Rights Movement, songwriters and musicians brought a new edge to their music that was at once youthful and wise to the game.

Jazz Dispensary aims to curate and consolidate these multiple, highly potent strains of sound under one roof โ€” a one-stop cornucopia of mind-expanding, high grade selections drawn from the finest sources.

One hit, and youโ€™re hooked! New journeys and tantalizing pathways abound, from the meditative and moody to the uproarious, ecstatic and joyous. A funky good time, a mystic journey, a powerful inspiration, Jazz Dispensary has the medicine that will spark things off and set the mood. Let us take you on a trip!


About the Society:

Since opening our doors in 2020, one thing we hear over and over again from our customers is that they would like to get into jazz but they donโ€™t know where to begin. We get it! There are so many entry points and the sheer size of the genre can scare people off before they even start exploring. So, we decided to do something about it.โฃ

Each month will have a new theme and 1-2 albums that fit that theme, only the catch is, you wonโ€™t know the albums before showing up. Because we believe this act of exploration isnโ€™t just for discovering music you havenโ€™t heard before, itโ€™s also about rediscovering an album you may have forgotten or hearing it in a new light. โฃ

If youโ€™re new to the genre, our goal is to provide you with easy on-ramps, so that you can find your sweet spots without feeling overwhelmed. If youโ€™re a long-term jazz head, our goal is to introduce you to new artists, new sub-genres under the jazz umbrella, possibly get you to revisit albums you may already know, and simply expand your love and appreciation of the genre. โฃ
