Playlists

Festival Sampler Playlists

Free, Spotify playlists curated by Earshot Jazz featuring a sampling of music from a this year’s festival artists. We’ll include a general playlist and a playlist for each week of the festival. More information coming soon.

Gentle reminder: While Spotify makes it easy for us to introduce you to artists, it is not the best way to support artists. The best way to support artists is to buy their music! Thank you.
