Oh! Jazz brings live jazz from iconic clubs in Australia and around the world direct to the homes of subscribers, turning their lounge rooms into instant live jazz venues.
Founders, Jesus Perezagua, former president of Fox Networks Europe & Africa, and Dan Bessant, former head of programming, entertainment and music at Foxtel and music director at Nova Network, created the platform offer unique content to jazz-lovers, and also to give back to the jazz community and fulfil an artist’s dream of playing on a global stage.
The subscription-based OTT platform features a curated selection of over 150 new live shows each year from Madrid, Tokyo, London, Austin, Sydney and Melbourne.
Perezagua and Bessant said: “Oh! Jazz provides an unrivalled offering which offers limitless opportunities for the global jazz community.
“We founded Oh! Jazz with the mission to support jazz artists and clubs with a sustainable business model to ensure their long-term success and growth, while connecting people all over the world through the marvellous world of jazz.“
Each of the participating clubs are set-up with high-tech cameras to capture every angle, element and musical note of the performances.
Just like a live concert, Oh! Jazz will allocate performing artists and participating clubs with 35% of the total revenue from all subscriptions, empowering them to continue to grow and thrive in the industry they love.
Michael Tortoni, from participating Oh! Jazz club, The JazzLab in Melbourne and artistic director of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival said: “Oh! Jazz is - a very welcome offering after a difficult few years for artists and clubs who have not been able to perform and operate during the pandemic."
