For this week’s ✨Artists In Our Network ✨, we had the amazing opportunity to chat with @fagjazz a queer and trans POC-led collective based and founded in Oakland, CA. Check out below for learn more ⬇️

🎶 What most deeply influences FAGJAZZ?

FAGJAZZ is first and foremost an homage to all our queer and trans ancestors within the greater definition of jazz music. From Billy Strayhorn to Billy Tipton, Gladys Bentley to Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, FAGJAZZ not only honors those who came before us, but strives to carry on the illustrious tradition of fagjazzing.
